Before its launch, Ubisoft disclosed the minimum PC specifications required for playing Prince of Persia The Lost Crown.
The Lost Crown marks the most recent addition to the Prince of Persia franchise, arriving after a prolonged anticipation for a new instalment in the critically acclaimed series. This release is particularly significant following the previous remake which faced substantial criticism.
While The Lost Crown diverges from the Sands of Time Trilogy, it pays homage by incorporating diverse time manipulation abilities. Structured as a Metroidvania-style game, players will assume the role of Sargon, one of the Immortals. Scheduled for release across major gaming consoles and PCs, Ubisoft has detailed the system requirements for PCs to assist players in assessing their systems’ capability to run the game effectively.

As for consoles, players need not concern themselves with these specifications. On PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, The Lost Crown will run at 4K resolution and 120 frames per second (fps). For those possessing either of these consoles, it’s advisable to play the game on them rather than on a PC. The game will run at different resolutions on other platforms like the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series S, etc., but they will all support 60fps gameplay.
