Mirror's Edge Catalyst for PlayStation 4 is now available at Mascom International for KSh 3,300, stocked new and sealed at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This first-person action-adventure game from EA DICE runs on the Frostbite 3 engine and puts you in control of Faith Connors across the open-world city of Glass. Released in June 2016 as a full reboot of the 2008 original, Mirror's Edge Catalyst trades level-by-level missions for one connected city you cross on foot. The disc plays on every PS4 model, including PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro.
Mirror's Edge Catalyst suits PS4 owners across Kenya who want a single-player game built around movement instead of gunfire. University students at Strathmore and USIU, weekend gamers in Nairobi estates, and players building an affordable PS4 library all find a full campaign here for the price of a budget title. The running, climbing, and wall-jumping reward timing and route-planning over reflexes alone. Players tired of repetitive shooters get a different rhythm: you read each rooftop, pick a line, and hold your speed. One clean run across the city of Glass feels earned, not handed to you.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who rarely stock back-catalogue PS4 titles, Mascom International keeps Mirror's Edge Catalyst on the shelf at a fixed KSh 3,300. Players consistently report that the free-running movement holds up years after release, and that the city of Glass still looks clean on a PS4 Pro through a 1080p screen. The game carries a Metacritic critic score of 74 and built a loyal following long after launch. Visit Mascom International to pick up your copy, or order Mirror's Edge Catalyst for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties, same working day within Nairobi.
Common Questions About the Mirror's Edge Catalyst for PlayStation 4
What kind of game is Mirror's Edge Catalyst on PS4?
Mirror's Edge Catalyst is a first-person action-adventure game built around parkour. You play as Faith Connors, a courier called a Runner, moving across the rooftops of a corporate-ruled city named Glass. Instead of shooting, you run, vault, slide, and wall-jump to reach objectives, using melee strikes when guards block the way. The game uses an open-world layout, so you travel between districts on foot rather than loading separate levels. It suits players who want flow and momentum over standard cover-shooting combat.
Is Mirror's Edge Catalyst single-player or multiplayer?
Mirror's Edge Catalyst is a single-player game at its core, with a full story campaign you play alone offline. At launch it also carried asynchronous online features, where your time-trial routes and dash records appeared on other players' maps. Those online leaderboards relied on EA servers. Everything you need for the main game stays fully playable offline on your PS4 today. You buy the disc, install it, and run the entire campaign without any internet connection or PlayStation Plus subscription.
Do the online features still work after the EA server shutdown?
The online leaderboard and player-billboard features no longer connect, because EA shut down the Mirror's Edge Catalyst servers in December 2023. This does not affect the single-player campaign, side missions, story, or offline time trials, which all run normally. You still get the full open-world city, every chapter, and the complete movement system. Only the shared online rankings between players are gone. We flag this openly so you know exactly what you receive: a complete offline game, not a live online service.
Will Mirror's Edge Catalyst run on PS4 Slim, PS4 Pro, or PS5?
Yes. The Mirror's Edge Catalyst disc runs on every PlayStation 4 console: the original PS4, PS4 Slim, and PS4 Pro. It also plays on a disc-equipped PS5 through backward compatibility, so the game grows with your console. The title outputs at 1080p on PS4 hardware. On a PS4 Pro or PS5, load times and frame stability hold up well for a 2016 game. One disc covers your whole PlayStation setup, which protects your KSh 3,300 if you upgrade consoles later.
How long does Mirror's Edge Catalyst take to finish?
The main story of Mirror's Edge Catalyst runs roughly 8 to 12 hours, depending on how often you replay tricky rooftop sections. Adding side jobs, deliveries, and collectible hunting pushes that toward 15 to 20 hours. Chasing full completion, including every time trial and gridnode, reaches around 30 hours. For a game at KSh 3,300, that puts the cost well under KSh 300 per hour of play, before any replay value from improving your routes across the city.
Is Mirror's Edge Catalyst worth KSh 3,300 in Kenya's market?
At KSh 3,300, Mirror's Edge Catalyst sits firmly in budget-game territory, well below the KSh 5,000 to KSh 7,000 many newer PS4 titles still command in Nairobi. You get a complete single-player campaign, an open world, and strong replay value from route mastery. Players who enjoy movement-focused games rate the traversal among the best on PS4. For a student or casual gamer building a library, it adds a full title at the price of an accessory, with no recurring costs.
Do I need to play the 2008 Mirror's Edge first?
No. Mirror's Edge Catalyst is a full reboot, not a sequel, so it tells Faith Connors' origin story from the start. You can pick it up with zero knowledge of the 2008 game and follow the plot, the city of Glass, and the Runner culture without confusion. Newcomers and returning fans both start fresh here. The original 2008 Mirror's Edge released on PS3 and does not play on PS4, so Catalyst is the PlayStation 4 entry point for the series.
Is Mirror's Edge Catalyst suitable for younger players?
Mirror's Edge Catalyst carries an ESRB Teen rating and a PEGI 16 rating, citing mild language and violence. There are no guns in your hands; combat uses punches, kicks, and takedowns against guards, with limited blood. A few story moments show stronger content, including a character held at gunpoint. Parents buying for teenagers should treat it as a 16-plus title. The focus stays on running and exploring the city rather than graphic violence, which keeps the tone lighter than most shooters.

What's in the Box
The new, sealed retail copy of Mirror's Edge Catalyst includes the standard PS4 Blu-ray game disc inside an official EA case, with cover-sleeve artwork and any printed insert supplied by the publisher. The disc holds the full game; a small update may download on first launch to apply the latest patch. No controller, headset, or PlayStation Plus card is included, as those belong to your console setup rather than the game package.
