There are decisions that one, honestly, does not understand because they go against the very meaning of the market. It is true that in the end one more or less sees the reasons that have led someone to do something specific, but it would be good to know with data if that idea has borne fruit or not. Because the fact that a PC game (as is the case here) is not sold in Steam It has to do either with a very well-paid exclusive, or with an obsession that few gamers they come to understand.
We are talking to you about Ubisoft and of his Prince of Persia The Lost Crowna great game that appeared at the beginning of the year and has been absent from Gabe Newell’s store since then. Something that, on the other hand, is not strange to see with the French news because for some time now they have been trying to redirect all their fans towards their showcase, towards that Ubisoft+ and its catalog of games. Something that is obviously not working for them.
The Prince arrives on Steam Deck
Although there are ways to make the system work launcher of Ubisoft in a Steam Deck Normally, it is clear that the scenario that offers the least problems is the one that has to do with buying the game in the Valve store and that’s it. You get rid of problems and with just a couple of clicks on the screen you already have everything perfectly installed and ready to run. So from today, if you have the handheld PC in your hands, you can play with Prince of Persia The Lost Crown.
The game has just arrived at Steam and, although it does not appear as verified and with the little green icon that tells us that everything works perfectly on Steam Deck, the truth is that since Ubisoft have posted on social media post in which they announce that Prince of Persia The Lost Crown It has been optimized to be enjoyed in Ultra quality and at full speed in 720p on the laptop screen. So in this regard, the French have been aware that their creation should not cause problems when installing it on the machines.
However, the compatibility indicator is currently set to yellow, since although the game works, it is still pending verification by Valve. Remember that it was The Last of Us and its disastrous launch on PC, which forced Gabe Newell’s team to not hand out green badges, trusting the developer’s word, and until his team of test does not check it, they do not assign that signal that Prince of Persia will work fine (although it already does).
One of the best games of the year
Although it is not a AAA or a mega production, Prince of Persia The Lost Crown It is one of the most interesting releases that have arrived in 2024: a metroidvania really fun, graphically spectacular and which has been gaining a certain prestige as players tried it and recommended it to others.
If you haven’t played it, take advantage of the fact that it’s coming to Steam to do it (even on a TV). You won’t regret it.
