Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown not coming to Steam?

[🪻🧋Sylvie💮🍃]

Why's Prince of Persia; The Lost Crown not available on Steam but still available for pre-order on console and EGS? And why does the PC version require Ubisoft account to play the game?! What gives?

Trash game from trash company on trash platform.
Checks out, they can keep it.

I guess, all newer Ubisoft games require their DRM on top of whatever the other platforms provide. Considering that the Steam version of The Forgotten Sands plainly stopped working at some point, purchasing directly via the Ubisoft application (or obtaining the DRM-free version) might be preferable.

It is possible that there will be a delay between the EGS, Ubisoft, and Steam stores due to the benefits the EGS store provides for the publishers. Still, the last vaguely Prince of Persia game was released 13 years ago, so a few months don't change anything.

As to why there is a DRM in the first place, it might have something to do with the monetisation - Ubisoft has been shoving MTX into everything, including their single-player games.

Seeing that game represents everything wrong with the genre. First of all the music - people complained when Warrior Within had heavy metal but even that made more sense than modern urban soulless pseudo-rap.

The characters look like a parody of all modern sentiments, buzz cut and everything - game developers need to stop making games appear "hip", appealing to the "young audience" bracket - this always means some clueless marketing push to give every character useless tattoos, silly hair, and have them throw quips and look 16.

The whole Ubisoft account has pissed me off - i wanted to replay The Forgotten Sands, but i can't because of the damn launcher.

Bring back the Prince, Ubisoft!

I recently got Forgotten Sands on a Steam discount. I haven't played it a lot, but seems to be working fine. I use Windows 11 22H2

Maybe this is Ubisoft’s new Strategy. First releasing their games on PC exclusively on the Epic Store and uPlay and then later on Steam. but why, if us Steam Users will to wait to get the game on Steam and not buy it on the other 2 PC Storefronts till then why not just release it Day 1 on Steam

Because morons will double buy.

Just wow xD what a grumpy und unreflected oppinion.
Its only flaw ist that they do Not publish it on Steam, where Deck Users would all buy it as it is a perfekt Deck Game.

Yeah I’m alright with missing this one. Hate Epic.

Why would anyone would want that trash is beyond me. Ubisoft is dead. Rip PoP and Tom Clancy, among others.

And why isn’t it though? We are we playing a prince of Persia game that’s not starring the prince? Ever ask yourself that question?

Yeah you're right! How didn't I think of this? It would be like playing a Zelda game that doesn't have Zelda as the main character. That would be INSANE.
