For reference, both the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions run The Lost Crown at 120 FPS and on 4K resolution. The Nintendo Switch can run the game at 60 FPS and on 1080p resolution when on docked mode. Considering how fast paced this 2.5D side-scroller is, you don’t want to play hours of The Lost Crown at anything below 60 FPS.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown isn’t a very demanding game in terms of PC requirements. However, it’s always a good idea to check above if you have the right specs before you make a purchase on any edition of the game.
