by

Popular Ubisoft game Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is available for download from the Mac App Store as of today, allowing Mac users to play the title for the first time since its January 2024 launch.


Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is an action adventure game that joins a long list of other Prince of Persia titles that are based on Persian mythology. Players take on the role of Sargon, a warrior journeying to Mount Qaf to free a captured prince. Gameplay consists of fighting enemies, solving puzzles, seeking out treasure, and completing quests.

The game has been available on Windows machines, the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation consoles, and Xbox consoles, and it received largely positive reviews.

The Mac version of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown uses Metal3 for a smooth gameplay experience on Mac machines, with a Mac that has an M1 chip or later required.

Is it? You think Ubisoft is the feds or something? I find it pretty darn handy to continue my progress across all platforms.
Well Ubisoft has a pretty poor reputation. If they required an account to play a single player game I simply wouldn't buy it, even if it were useful as you pointed out. The other reason is that I am simply sick of the sheer number of logins and launchers required to play modern games. It makes the experience of launching the game take longer and adds roadblocks (finding passwords, fetching the phone for two-factor auth). My time is precious (the irony of using it to complain on macrumors is noted) and there are plenty of products that respect it.

On some platforms (eg Steam) the game requires an Ubisoft account even though it's not purchased from their store.

Does anyone know if Mac App Store version is subject to same imposition? A bit of a nonstarter for a single player game.
There is a button to skip linking an Ubisoft account, thankfully. Linking one enables cloud saves between platforms, but it's not mandatory. The game can also be launched and played without an internet connection, which is nice.

However, as of version 1.0.1, the game seems to have an issue in the form of an artificial frame rate cap. The game itself runs well, but the FPS is capped at 60 with uneven frame pacing regardless of the display's actual refresh rate. Really hope that they remove the cap or add an option to change the target frame rate as soon as possible.

In addition to the artificial frame rate limit, the game is also missing the option to purchase the recently released paid DLC. Hopefully, these issues will be resolved soon.

(There are also reports of some Xbox controllers not working correctly with the game, but I can verify that at least the DualSense works as expected with correct button prompts and all.)
