Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is available to play entirely for free on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 from September 24–30, though Nintendo Switch Online membership is required. The 2D Metroidvania received critical acclaim but failed to meet sales expectations, leading Ubisoft to disband the development team and cancel sequel plans.
Nintendo has made Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown available free to Switch Online subscribers in North America and Europe until September 30, 2026, with a 70% discount during the trial period. The game is considered one of the Switch's most underrated titles, receiving a 9/10 review score despite poor initial sales.
