What platforms is Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown on?

Prince of Persia fans are finally getting a new game with the release of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown in January 2024. After such a long wait, fans on multiple gaming platforms want to get their hands on the new game. So here are all of the platforms where you can play Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.

Is Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown on last gen consoles?

Despite being released over three years after the launch of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Of course, the game will be released on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, too. You just don’t need that level of hardware to run this title.

That makes sense since the game doesn’t look anywhere close to as demanding as other recent releases from Ubisoft. As a side-scrolling game, it takes a lot less horsepower to run Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown than it does for something like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, which is only on current gen systems.

Is Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown on Nintendo Switch?

Since Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown isn’t a very demanding game, even the plucky Nintendo Switch can run it too. The game will also be released on the Nintendo Switch alongside all of the other platforms on January 18, 2024.

That’s a nice change of pace for Switch owners who have gotten used to either not getting new releases from big franchises or getting the games much later than on other systems, like with Hogwarts Legacy. However, there’s no word yet on how the Switch port of the game compares to the versions on its beefier contemporaries.

Is Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown on Steam?

Turning our attention to the PC side of things, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown will be released on PC. However, the game won’t be coming to Steam, at least not at launch. PC gamers can play the game through Ubisoft’s Connect platform, the Epic Games Store, or Amazon Luna.

There’s no clear indication as to when Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown may be released on Steam. Ubisoft did start bringing older games to Steam in 2022 and 2023, but new releases are launching on Epic’s storefront instead of Valve’s. Whether that’s because of a timed exclusivity agreement will become clear later in 2024.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown will be released on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC on January 18, 2024.
