Get ready for the must-play game of the year - Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. This thrilling metroidvania will be officially released on January 18, but if you don't want to wait, you can start playing as early as January 15. By signing up for Ubisoft+, the monthly subscription service offering a wide range of games, including the latest releases, you can gain access to Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown three days ahead of its official release date.
Ubisoft+ is priced at $15 per month, or $18 per month for access to select games on PC and Xbox. It is currently available on both platforms. It's important to note that Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown will not be available on Steam for PC players, but it can be accessed through the Ubisoft Connect and Epic Games Store platforms. Games purchased from Ubisoft through EGS can be easily launched from that launcher. Additionally, it is possible to play the game on Steam Deck by adding Ubisoft Connect to your library and using a Proton workaround, and a guide on how to do so will be available soon.
The game is expected to take around 20 hours to complete, so a month's subscription should provide plenty of time to finish it. Approaching the subscription with a rental mindset may make the $15 fee more attractive than purchasing the game for $50 on launch day, especially considering the access it provides to numerous other Ubisoft games and in-game rewards.
"Our Website's review of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown describes it as the series' first foray into a modernized metroidvania. Instead of being just another competent imitator, the game stands out with its impactful combat, smooth platforming, and innovative exploration mechanics, solidifying its position as a leader in its class once again."
