REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — If you are looking for an adrenaline-fueled parkour adventure but don't want to break the bank, one of EA's most visually striking titles has just hit an unbeatable price point.
Mirror's Edge Catalyst, the critically acclaimed first-person action-adventure game developed by DICE, is currently on sale for just $0.99 (95% off its standard $19.99 price tag) across multiple PC storefronts. The massive discount is available right now on Steam and the EA App, with the promotion running until October 8, 2026.
A Return to the City of Glass
Released originally in 2016, Mirror's Edge Catalyst serves as a reboot and origin story for the franchise's iconic protagonist, Faith Connors.
While the 2008 original pioneered the concept of first-person parkour, Catalyst raises the action-adventure bar by dropping players into the “City of Glass” — a massive, seamless open-world metropolis. Instead of navigating linear levels, players have the freedom to sprint, vault, slide, and wall-run across towering skyscrapers, discovering hidden routes and time trials scattered throughout the gleaming dystopian city.
The game completely removes gunplay from Faith's arsenal. Instead, combat relies entirely on momentum. Players must string together fluid parkour movements and martial arts to disarm and evade the oppressive Conglomerate security forces. The faster you move, the harder you are to hit, creating a combat loop that feels like a high-speed puzzle.
While Mirror's Edge Catalyst may have had a somewhat mixed critical reception at launch regarding its skill tree mechanics and narrative, the core traversal system remains unmatched in the gaming industry. For less than the price of a cup of coffee or a soda, exploring the stunning, minimalist architecture of the City of Glass is an absolute steal.
If you have never experienced Faith's origin story, or simply want to add the game to your modern PC library, make sure to claim this 99-cent deal before the sale expires on October 8.
