Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown officially exceeds 3 million players

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown was one of Ubisoft’s more underrated titles in recent years, with the side-scrolling Metroidvania becoming the 2nd highest rated entry in franchise history. Unfortunately, sales for the game did not meet Ubisoft’s expectations, leading to the cancellation of a potential sequel. It seems as though Ubisoft may have jumped the gun a little bit, as Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has since gone on to be experienced by millions  – pushing total players past 3 million.

Making the announcement on Twitter, the official Prince of Persia page wrote the following: “Over 3 million Immortals have embarked on this epic journey through Mount Qaf. From every leap across deadly traps to every perfect parry, your skill has brought Sargon’s adventure to life. Thank you for being part of the Prince of Persia legend.”

As always, it is worth noting that 3 million players does not equate to 3 million copies sold, especially as Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown was dropped onto PlayStation Plus Extra back in March.

That said, prior to its PS Plus addition, the game was confirmed to have sold over 1.3 million copies – meaning it very well could be nearing 2 million copies SOLD by now.

Of course, until we hear it from the horse’s mouth, nothing is confirmed, and so as of right now all that can be stated is that Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has officially exceeded 3 million total players. It will be interesting to see what player counts look like once The Lost Crown is inevitably removed from PlayStation Plus.
