‘Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake’ Nintendo Switch port and PS5, Xbox Series X free upgrades confirmed

Since the making of “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake” was officially announced, Ubisoft has only been mentioning three gaming systems at which the game would be available — PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. However, the video game company has discreetly confirmed that it will also be playable on more platforms.

‘Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake’ compatibility

The new information was first spotted by Reddit user LeadingNewday from an update on the online Ubisoft Store. The “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake” page has been added with an option to buy it for Nintendo Switch. There is also a note below the list of compatible platforms that mentions the free upgrades for new-gen consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X.

It should be noted that the “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake” has been confirmed to be playable on PS5 and Xbox Series X as soon as it is released through backward compatibility. That alone will offer a better experience for players, such as faster load times and better gaming resolution. However, a full upgrade means that the game is practically getting redeveloped for PS5 and Xbox Series X platforms to maximize its next-level features like ray-tracing and 3D audio.

It is unclear why the Nintendo Switch port and the free upgrades on PS5 and Xbox Series X has yet to be officially announced. But considering that the new information was spotted on the official Ubisoft Store listing for “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake,” this expanded lineup of compatible platforms can be considered an official announcement.
