Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is not expected to be particularly challenging to run. As a 2.5D perspective action platformer, Ubisoft chose to prioritize genre over technology. That comes with quite a few upsides.
As Ubisoft has revealed in a new post on the official Prince of Persia blog, the game will have very high performance metrics, no doubt a result of Ubisoft exerting real effort on optimization.
At a minimum, the game will run at 60 FPS. That includes the Nintendo Switch, which it must be said, the console was always capable of. On PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, the game will run at a solid 120 FPS on 4K resolution.
Many third party developers didn’t put the effort in for those high performance metrics on the Switch, partly because their games were too complex, and partly because it isn’t possible to push the hardware that far. Even Nintendo doesn’t worry about making all their first party games run at that metric.
It must be said, that if you own a Switch, you probably also have at least one of their 60 FPS Switch games. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Splatoon 3, and Super Mario Bros 3D World + Bowser’s Fury all run at 1080P, 60 FPS on the platform. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown joins titles like Fast RMX, Cuphead, and Ubisoft’s own Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition in the 60 FPS third-party Switch game club.
So on the Switch, the game will run at 720p when you have it in your hands, and goes up to 1080p on docked mode. Moving on from the Switch, the PlayStation 4, Xbox One family, and Xbox Series S all also run at that 60 FPS metric. The PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One move up to 4K at 60 FPS, while the Xbox Series S has it at 1440p, 60 FPS.
Finally, on PC, Prince of Persia: The Lost
