In the last few weeks of 2023, the Prince of Persia Twitter account announced that Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown officially debuts on January 18, 2024. That said, there are two exceptions: subscribers to the Ubisoft+ gaming subscription or people who pre-ordered the game’s Deluxe Edition. If someone satisfies one of these circumstances, they have had access to the game since January 15, 2024. Also, pre-orders include a special outfit inspired by Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.

It should be noted that if someone wants to play The Lost Crown early, they need to get a Premium account for Ubisoft+, as the Classics tier does not include early access. This costs $17.99 per month, and requires Ubisoft Connect. The subscription is available on PC and Xbox, along with Amazon Luna.
