Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown system requirements are pleasingly low

Should you’re used to system necessities with a sense of “am I going to have to exchange my GPU already” dread, you may be pleased to know that Prince of Persia: The Misplaced Crown will not demand a high-end rig. That cartoony artwork model was by no means going to be an actual useful resource hog, nevertheless it’s nonetheless good to see system necessities the place extremely is not out of attain. You may in all probability be capable of run this one on a laptop computer.

Every tier of system necessities for Prince of Persia: The Misplaced Crown targets a minimal of 60 fps, although Ubisoft notes it could possibly go above 120 fps if you happen to’ve acquired the {hardware} for it. To hit extremely on a 4K monitor you may solely want a GTX 1060 with 6GB of VRAM. What’s extra, it will solely take up 30GB of exhausting drive area and does not demand an SSD, which is changing into a uncommon factor lately.

“I do know it isn’t precisely the Prince of Persia followers have come to count on,” Mollie Taylor wrote after a hands-on with The Misplaced Crown final 12 months, “particularly with the hotly-anticipated Sands of Time remake presently drifting on the desert winds. I would think about it no dangerous factor that it is going for such a special really feel, although. With the staff behind the superb Rayman Legends engaged on The Misplaced Crown for the final 4 years, the end result is a beautiful 2.5D sidescroller that hearkens again to Prince of Persia’s origins whereas imagining a brand new future for the sequence and options all kinds of totally devious puzzle platforming with some mighty satisfying execution.”

For me, Prince of Persia will all the time at the start be a 2D sport a couple of rotoscoped man being impaled on spikes and gorily halved by chomping steel tooth, so a return to a sidescrolling Persia appears fantastic by me. It’s going to be out on January 18 through Epic and the Ubisoft Retailer.
