Ubisoft has unveiled the PC system requirements and anticipated console performance for the upcoming Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and it seems like this might become one of the most optimized games from the company. Let’s delve into the details of the PC specifications, expected console performance, and what players can anticipate from this latest addition to the Prince of Persia series.
PC Specifications: Remarkable Optimization
Ubisoft claims that Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown can achieve 4K at 60fps on a nearly decade-old Nvidia GTX 1060. AMD users are recommended to use a newer Radeon RX 5500XT for optimal performance. Given the game’s 2D side-scrolling nature, these claims are not surprising, showcasing the impressive optimization. The game requires a modest 30GB of storage, with Ubisoft suggesting an SSD for all performance tiers. It’s worth noting that the game will be exclusive to the Ubisoft Connect client and Epic Games Store, bypassing Steam.
