In an exciting development for handheld gaming enthusiasts, Ubisoft has announced full Steam Deck compatibility for their critically acclaimed metroidvania title, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. The optimization brings impressive performance metrics to Valve’s portable gaming device.

Performance Highlights

The game shows remarkable performance on both Steam Deck variants:

• LCD Model: Achieves stable 60 FPS at ultra settings
• OLED Model: Pushes even further to 90 FPS at ultra settings

This optimization comes as welcome news for players who enjoyed the game’s successful January 2024 launch, where it surprised many with its fresh take on the beloved franchise.

Unexpected Success Story

The Lost Crown emerged as an unexpected hit, winning over both critics and players with its masterful blend of metroidvania elements and the classic Prince of Persia formula. Despite initial skepticism, the game has carved out its own identity in the long-running series.

Looking Forward

While the game’s success is noteworthy, Ubisoft has confirmed that the development team behind The Lost Crown has been disbanded, marking the end of this particular chapter in the Prince of Persia saga. However, the Steam Deck compatibility ensures that players can continue to enjoy this stellar title in a portable format.

The game’s successful optimization for Steam Deck adds another platform where players can experience this reimagining of the classic franchise, showcasing Ubisoft’s commitment to platform accessibility despite the project’s conclusion.
