Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown update 1.0.1

Tying in with the launch of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Ubisoft has readied a day one version 1.0.1 update.

The update includes some balancing, an improved guided Mode experience, refreshed audio mix, and UI polish. Of course, there are bug fixes as well.

Here’s the full rundown:

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope sales

According to a report from VGC, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope has sold nearly three million copies. That would be combined physical and digital sales worldwide.

The VGC report, based on its sources, said the sales momentum “was partly helped by discounting on the Nintendo eShop, means Sparks of Hope is performing roughly in line with the historical performance of the first game, which went on to reach 10 million players.” However, while Kingdom Battle launched during Switch’s first year, Sparks of Hope released during a significantly higher install base.

A couple of new videos have come in for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown ahead of next week’s launch. Along with the launch trailer, we have a graphics comparison courtesy of GameXplain.

As noted in the technical analysis post, the Switch version of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown turned out very well. It’s a bit downgraded compared to other platforms, but not in an overly significant way.

Prince of Persia The Lost Crown review

System: Switch
Release date: January 18, 2024
Developer: Ubisoft
Publisher: Ubisoft


Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown came as something of a surprise when it was announced during Summer Game Fest last year. The series had been in an odd state of partially suspended animation up to that point, with the last mainline entry on consoles being 2010’s The Forgotten Sands, and the only other activity being largely ignored mobile spinoffs and the vague promises of a remake of the first game in the series. A brand new 2.5D entry was probably the last thing anyone expected, and while The Lost Crown won’t be the game that many fans were asking for, it nonetheless stands out as a fantastic entry in the series that is more than worth your time.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown frame rate resolution

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is almost here, and we’ve got insight into the game’s frame rate, resolution, and more courtesy of a technical analysis from Digital Foundry.

The easiest way to break everything down here is that the Switch version turned out very well. Both frame rate (during gameplay) and resolution max out what’s possible on the system.
