I was pretty hyped for the new prince of persia game (the lost crown), but come to find out it’s only available on ubisoft’s proprietary launcher or epic games. Nope, and nope.

I just want to have it available on my usual storefront, Steam, but it’s been decidedly omitted. As a long time fan of the old games, this kind of hurts. Especially since many of the others -are- available on Steam.

I wonder if/when it will come out for Steam. These platform exclusivity deals need to die.

Edit: It’s also available on several consoles, my post was just from a pc gamer’s perspective.

    The moment I heard the new Prince of Persia had Denuvo, I wasn’t going to play it anyway.

    It mandates a Ubisoft account everywhere anyway. Apparently on Switch in airplane more is the only way to circumvent this.

      According to the DF review vídeo the account is required on PS/Xbox unless you’re offline, but entirely optional on the Switch.

      It’s discussed around 15min into the video.
