Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Has Reportedly Sold More Than 1.3 Million Copies

Ubisoft’s silence on the sales figures for side-scrolling title Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has led to quite a few rumours speculating on how well the title may have done. The latest comes courtesy of a LinkedIn post of an associate marketing director, indicating that the title sold 1.3 million copies in its first year.

Spotted by X user Timur222, the time Alexandre Guenounou spent at Ubisoft as an associate marketing director from October 2021 includes him having worked on the marketing for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Guenounou’s profile states that the title sold more than 1.3 million copies.

If true, these sales figures would lend credence to earlier rumours from back in October that indicated that the game had sold 1 million copies at the time. For context, the first time around, sales figures of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown were rumoured to have been around 300,000 copies back in January 2024.

Having been released last year, rumours have also indicated that the title failed to meet Ubisoft’s sales expectations, and that further work on it had been stopped. A sequel was also rumoured to have been pitched but ultimately rejected, with the development team that worked on the title having since been disbanded.

Ubisoft has since confirmed that the dev team for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown had moved on to other projects. The title had wrapped up its post-launch content roadmap with the release of free updates as well as new DLC.

“Most of the team members who worked on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown have shifted to other projects that will benefit from their expertise,” said the game’s senior producer back in October. “We know players have a love for this brand and Ubisoft is excited to bring more Prince of Persia experiences in the future.”

For now, the only other Prince of Persia game that fans of the franchise can check out is The Rogue Prince of Persia, which is currently an Early Access title being developed by Evil Empire.
