Mirror's Edge for Steam — Gift

Mirror's Edge — the first-person parkour game that became an icon

Mirror's Edge is a game you can't mistake for anything else. DICE released it on consoles in 2008, and it reached PC in January 2009, becoming one of the most recognizable experiments in its genre. You play as Faith Connors, a runner-courier delivering forbidden messages across the rooftops of a sterile, utopian surveillance city. There's no usual cover-and-shoot loop here: Faith's main weapon is her own body, her speed and her ability to read the city's geometry on the move.

By buying this product you get a Steam gift with the full version of the game: our bot delivers it straight into your Steam library. Below is everything worth knowing before you buy — what's included, how delivery works and the region conditions.

Why Mirror's Edge still grabs you

The core appeal is a pure sense of motion. The camera stays first-person even during the most acrobatic moments: you see arms swinging as you sprint, feet pushing off a wall, the world tilting in a roll. It's one of the rare cases where parkour feels like a flow rather than a set of button prompts. The city's design became a legend of its own: blindingly white buildings, glass and concrete, with key objects — doors, pipes, cranes — highlighted in bright red "runner vision" that gently suggests your route without turning the game into a corridor.

The story takes you through nine chapters: rooftop escapes, chases, leaps across gaps between skyscrapers and rare but tense encounters. And once the campaign ends, the Time Trial mode remains — timed runs along finely tuned routes where fractions of a second matter and you'll want to replay them again and again for the perfect line.

What's included in this version

This is the full Steam version of Mirror's Edge with everything in the base game:

• The story campaign — all nine chapters of Faith's tale.
• The Time Trial mode with leaderboards and timed runs.
• The PC version with PhysX effects support (shattering glass, smoke, debris) — on capable hardware the visuals get richer.

An honest note about the add-on: the Pure Time Trials Map Pack DLC (nine extra timed maps) was never officially released on Steam — it was tied to the Origin/EA version. So it's not part of this gift and we won't promise it. If those extra Time Trial maps matter to you, keep that in mind in advance.

How the gift is delivered

Delivery is as simple as it gets, but Steam has a couple of strict rules worth following:

• At checkout you provide a friend invite link (s.team/p/...) and the region of your Steam account.
• Our bot adds itself to your friends, sends the gift and automatically leaves once delivered. You don't need to accept anything manually.
• Steam Guard is not required — the gift arrives without it.
• Delivery usually takes a couple of minutes after payment, but we don't promise a strict timing — occasionally it can take a little longer.

Region and library condition — read carefully

Steam will only accept the gift if two conditions are met. First, your Steam account region must match the gift region — otherwise the system simply won't let you activate it. Second, Mirror's Edge must not already be in the library of that account: Steam doesn't allow accepting a gift for a game you already own, and this is the most common cause of failure. If both points are satisfied, everything goes smoothly.

If something goes wrong

The most common snag is the bot not being able to add you as a friend. Usually that means friend requests are closed in your profile settings or the invite link has expired. Open friend-adding and send a fresh s.team/p/... link — and the delivery will be retried. Hiccups in this kind of delivery are rare, and we try to sort them out quickly.

What to grab alongside it

If Faith's running rhythm clicks with you, check out the direct sequel — Mirror's Edge Catalyst with its open city and reworked parkour. If you love tense vertical, rooftop movement, take a look at Dying Light and its first-person parkour. And for that signature EA/DICE atmosphere and presentation, drop by Dead Space — a different genre, but the same school of strong authorial style.

Mirror's Edge doesn't age precisely because it relies on feeling rather than graphics. It's a short, concentrated and very stylish game worth running through at least once — and then coming back to Time Trial for the perfect time.
