Ubisoftsharedthe technical details forPrince of Persia: The Lost Crown, revealing that no matter where someone decides to grab this game — the first new Prince of Persia game since The Forgotten Sands in2010— players can look forward to a solid experience that runs well. Notably, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown runs at 4K 120 FPS on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, providing great resolution and the fastest-possible framerate on consoles.
Meanwhile, the Xbox Series S version runs at 1440p 60 FPS. Moving on to last-generation console hardware, the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro versions run at 4K 60 FPS, with the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and docked Nintendo Switch versions at 1080p 60 FPS.
Naturally, there will be other differences, with the current-generation console versions having access to ultra-fast SSDs that can load the game far faster than on the older machines.

I’ve been looking forward to Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown since it was announced, so it’s cool that the developers have been able to push and add it to thelist of Xbox Series X games running at 120 FPS. Obviously, this isn’t the most visually-intensive experience — the fact it’s 1080p 60 FPS on the Nintendo Switch when docked should be telling — but even so, the combination of strong art direction, great performance, and a clean image can go a long way in making a game more pleasant to play.
