Older Prince of Persia titles didn’t miss on Nintendo consoles like GameCube and Wii on launch, but has that changed with The Lost Crown? Here are all the details on the game’s availability. 

Nearly 14 years after the last Prince of Persia game, the series is returning with The Lost Crown. It is a 2.5D Metroidvania game, which makes it the perfect game for handheld consoles. Unfortunately, The Lost Crown not being available on Steam makes it a bit harder to play on the Steam Deck, so the Nintendo Switch remains the only other major option for handheld enthusiasts.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown isn’t very demanding in terms of system requirements. Historically, all of the major games in the Prince of Persia series were available on Nintendo consoles. Plus, Lost Crown is developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, best known for another side-scroller, Rayman, which also never missed on Nintendo consoles. 

So, here’s whether The Lost Crown is available on the Nintendo Switch.
