Luckily, the wait is finally over. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown released on Jan. 18, 2024, on Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC. Although, players with early access could play from Jan. 15, 2024. Those with an Ubisoft+ subscription could benefit from three days of early access to Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown for no additional cost as part of their subscriber benefits.

The developer didn’t specify any exact release time of the game, but players across the globe were able to dive into the story come midnight. Therefore, it seems like Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown was made widely available at the start of Jan. 18 in every region.

With Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown being one of the first major releases of the year, it’s all but surprising everyone’s talking about it. And for the right reason, too. The game is currently boasting numerous positive reviews, with Dot Esports giving it a nine out of 10.
