Despite seemingly lackluster sales out of the gate, Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has “well over” two million players, per a recent tweet. The Metroidvania title is available on Xbox One, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
Rumors indicate that it sold over 1.3 million copies as of January 2025. However, it’s also available on Ubisoft+ and PlayStation Plus Extra/Premium, which may have contributed to the current player count.
Interestingly, it also mentions that The Prince is “back” and “he’s just warming up.” You would think this a sequel tease, but senior producer Abdelhak Elguess confirmed that development team members have already moved on to other projects. Never say never, though, especially since The Lost Crown garnered extensive critical praise.
Ubisoft could also be referencing Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake, currently scheduled for release in 2026. It promises redesigned levels and combat alongside a revamp to Farah’s character. A potential reveal or announcement in the coming months? We’ll have to wait and find out, so stay tuned.
