One of the first major releases this year is Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, the first brand new console game in the series since 2010’s The Forgotten Sands (yes, really!). And recently, a developer Ubisoft presented frame rate, resolution and accessibility options of the upcoming Switch release.
And that’s good news for Switch owners for this upcoming Metroidvania-esque take on the iconic franchise. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown will run at 60fps on Switch, both handheld and docked. This was stated by The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley back in the summer of 2023, but it’s good to hear the official news. In the handheld, the resolution will be 720p, while on the base it will be 1080p — standard stuff, then.
Namely, the performance is lower than expected on PS5 and Xbox Series X, where the performance will be 120fps. But we all know the Switch is a little less powerful, so that’s not too surprising.
In case you need more Prince of Persia news today, Ubisoft and Nintendo have shared a brand new ‘World Trailer’ for the upcoming action platformer, showing off some of the amazing environments you’ll be exploring as Sargon.
In addition, Ubisoft shared an Accessibility Deep Dive that explores some of the key features and considerations the team made regarding accessibility options and features. Large text, no color feedback and customizable difficulty where you can individually adjust parameters such as enemy health, damage and window avoidance. We are only choosing here, but that is already a wealth of things.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown releases on Nintendo Switch on January 18. The free demo is coming to the eShop next week, January 11th. Are you happy with the proposed performance on the Switch? Let us know in the comments.
