How long is Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown? How long to beat it

Total play time for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is about 31.2 hours to do everything, and around 16.7 hours to reach the end of the main story. These are player-submitted times from HowLongToBeat, not our own, shown with the number of players behind each.

Estimated sales for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

These are estimates, not reported figures. The publisher has not published unit sales for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and nobody outside the company can measure them. What follows is arithmetic on the review count, with the method printed below so you can check it or reject it.

How this was calculated

Steam sales track review counts closely enough that dividing one by the other across games with published figures gives a usable multiplier. This is the standard method for estimating sales from outside a publisher.

What this cannot tell you

Steam only. Console, Epic, GOG and retail sales are not in here. For a game that sold heavily on PlayStation this is a fraction of the real number.

The band is wide because the method is imprecise. Review rates vary with price, genre, launch era and how insistently a game asks. Published analyses put the ratio between 30 and 60 for paid games, and we show the whole range rather than picking a point in it.

The owner estimate above measures something else. SteamSpy counts accounts that have the game, which includes free weekends, bundles, giveaways and gifts. It sits higher than a sales figure for that reason, and the two are not alternative answers to the same question.

Revenue is the shakiest line. It assumes an average selling price well below list because most copies move in sales, and it ignores regional pricing, refunds, key resellers and whatever deal the publisher actually has with Valve. Treat it as an order of magnitude, not a figure.

If the publisher publishes a real number we will use that instead and say where it came from. Our editorial policy covers how we handle figures we cannot verify.

What readers say about Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.

1. Crashes and freezes11 of 300 (4%)

   That being said, you are forced to connect to the Ubisoft Connect which in my case made my game crash constantly forcing me to re-fight some bosses multiple times.

   after 30 or so frustrating minutes of exploration, it dawned on me that this might be some kind of DRM to lock your progress, so I shut down the game and played something else.

A further 7 reviews call the game buggy or broken without saying how, which is why they are counted separately rather than assigned to a theme. Counted by keyword across review text, so a review discussing two problems is counted under both. Read the reviews yourself.
