The year 2024 will commemorate the 35th year of the Prince of Persia legacy. After a prolonged hiatus from Ubisoft in delivering new installments, the renowned game developer pleasantly shocked fans with the release of the exceptional metroidvania game, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, in January. Despite its absence on Steam for many seasons, being exclusively available on Ubisoft Connect and the Epic Games Store, the title will now make its grand entrance on Valve’s platform this August.

Breaking the news through their official blog, Ubisoft confirmed the arrival of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown on Steam in the imminent months, declaring:

“Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown will launch on Steam on the 8th of August, offering PC players a fresh opportunity to embark on the critically acclaimed, anti-gravity, Metroidvania-inspired journey inside the time-weary stronghold of Mount Qaf.”

Upon its initial release in January, the game garnered high praise, achieving a commendable Metacritic rating of 86 – securing its place as the second most well-received entry in the franchise.

The Steam launch is perfectly timed with the debut of The Lost Crown’s inaugural story-based downloadable content, scheduled for release in September. Buyers on Steam will immediately benefit from a range of complimentary updates introduced post-launch, which bring forth numerous fresh challenges, mystical amulets, stylish ensembles, and much more.

The absence of a Steam presence undoubtedly impacted the game’s visibility on the PC platform, making the forthcoming release all the more exhilarating as the game frees itself from the confines of the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Connect.
