Specifically, the Game Trial began on September 24th and will end on September 30th, giving players the opportunity to download and enjoy the full version of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown while the offer remains active.
This is not, therefore, a simple demo with limited access or a small excerpt of the game. Players can explore the world of The Lost Crown and experience Sargon's adventure from the beginning.
A different Prince of Persia
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown was released in 2024 and is one of the most different approaches in the series' history. Rather than following the familiar 3D formula of previous games, Ubisoft opted for a 2D action-platformer with strong Metroidvania elements.
As Sargon, a young warrior and member of the Immortals, players journey to the mysterious Mount Qaf. It is a vast and interconnected world, filled with enemies, traps, puzzles and hidden areas waiting to be discovered.
Exploration is a key part of the experience, as many areas are inaccessible from the start. As Sargon gains new abilities, new paths gradually open up, while players can return to previous areas to discover secrets and items that were previously unavailable.

Fast-paced combat and challenging platforming
The combat system is also one of the most important elements of the game. Sargon has different attacks and abilities, while the right timing of parries and dodges can make the difference against the most difficult opponents.
At the same time, the platforming becomes increasingly challenging as the adventure progresses. The new abilities Sargon acquires are not only used in combat, but also to solve puzzles and access previously inaccessible areas.
Ubisoft has also enriched the game after its release with additional content and updates, offering even more challenges for those who want to explore Mount Qaf in depth.
An opportunity for those who haven't played it
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown received positive reviews upon release, with a particular focus on the combat, exploration, and world design. For Nintendo Switch owners who haven't played the title yet, this Game Trial is a way to try out the full experience before deciding whether to purchase it.
An active Nintendo Switch Online subscription is required . Free access is available until September 30th , so those interested should not leave the opportunity to the last minute.
