Mirror's Edge Platform Refund Rules & Dispute Standards
Before requesting a refund for Mirror's Edge, verify your purchase window, recorded playtime, and documented technical defects. Major digital stores enforce strict algorithmic limits, but statutory consumer rights and persistent crashes provide valid grounds for manual review.
Automatic refunds within 14 days and under 2 hours playtime. For unplayable performance or shader compile crash loops past 2 hours, submit a manual ticket via "I have a question about this purchase".
14 days from purchase provided downloading/streaming has not started. *Exception: If Mirror's Edge suffers from acknowledged game-breaking bugs, contact PlayStation Support citing faulty digital content.
Requests submitted within 14 days with minimal playtime are generally approved. Must request via account.microsoft.com order history rather than the console dashboard.
Mirrors Steam standard: self-service refund eligible within 14 days and under 2 hours of runtime. Virtual currency or consumables are non-refundable.
If you are requesting a refund due to crashing, DX12 errors, or stuttering: export your dxdiag.txt report and screenshot error dialogs before uninstalling. Proving that your PC meets the publisher's published minimum specs while the software fails to boot significantly increases approval rates during manual dispute appeals.

About Mirror's Edge
Refreshing look of Mirror’s Edge made this first-person action platformer recognizable even by people who have never played it before. The City of the “utopian” society is highly monitored by the totalitarian military groups. Players will take control of the female protagonist, named Faith, a specially trained Runner, master of parkour that delivers physical documents in the city, where every form of communication is watched. Her sister is framed for murder, and Faith must follow the clues to the identity of the murderer, with only lead being a note saying Icarus. Distinct visuals of the game form the bright white city, which Faith has to navigate through, jumping across rooftops, running on walls and climbing scaffolding. Color-coded elements of the environment guiding players as to where they can progress. Special attention to the camera that will bob up in down in accordance with the movement, trying to recreate the actual vision, and not a fixed video feed. Even though Mirror’s Edge has a combat system, it’s not the main focus, which makes it scarce.

How the Mirror's Edge FPS estimate and refund verdict are computed
Each game is scored on a 0–9 demand tier from its published PC requirements (and a year/genre fallback when requirements are absent). The FPS estimate compares your selected GPU's relative-performance index against the tier's required index using a diminishing-returns curve, then scales for resolution. The refund verdict compares your playtime and purchase date against the platform's published window (14 days / 2 hours on Steam and Epic; discretionary on PlayStation; 14-day capped on Xbox; no-refund policy on Nintendo eShop for downloaded software) and weighs technical defects more favourably than preference changes. All outputs are planning guides — verify in-game with the built-in benchmark when available, and confirm policy with the platform before acting.
