One of 2024s most underappreciated games comes to PS Plus this monthMichael BeckwithPublished March 13, 2025 1:38pmUpdated March 13, 2025 1:39pm Its criminal this will probably never get a sequel (Ubisoft)This months additions to the PS Plus game catalogue include one of the best Metroidvanias in recent years and a trio of retro PS1 games.Back when Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown was announced in 2023, fans seemed to have a thoroughly negative opinion of it. Come its release in January 2024, though, and its widely considered to be a fantastic entry in the series.In our own review, we deemed it one of the best Metroidvania games of recent years, which is why its such a shame it didnt sell as well as Ubisoft wanted it to. Just a few weeks after its launch, the publisher decided the game did poorly enough to warrant rejecting plans for a sequel and eventually split up the development team.While its unlikely The Lost Crown will ever see a follow-up, PlayStation Plus subscribers will soon no longer have an excuse not to play it as the game is coming to the services game catalogue very soon.As confirmed via the PlayStation Blog, both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions of The Lost Crown will be added to the PlayStation Plus game catalogue next week on March 18.Unlike the line-up of monthly downloads, theres no time limit for accessing the game catalogue so you can get round to checking out The Lost Crown whenever you have the time.As a reminder, the game catalogue is only available to those subscribed to the Extra or Premium tiers, providing access to a library of PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 games at no extra cost.It doesnt seem like The Lost Crown will come with its Mask Of Darkness DLC expansion, so that will still need to be purchased separately from the PlayStation Store. Fortunately, its not particularly expensive, only costing 4.29.Prince Of Persia fans have to make do with The Lost Crown (as well as early access roguelike The Rogue Prince Of Persia) for the time being since the highly anticipated remake of Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time isnt coming out any time soon.More TrendingAfter numerous delays and apparently multiple reboots, the remake is now scheduled for a 2026 launch, though Ubisoft has yet to share any footage of the game in action.Obviously, The Lost Crown isnt the only game being added to the catalogue this month. It will be joined by:EA Sports UFC 5 (PlayStation 5)Captain Tsubasa: Rise Of New Champions (PlayStation 4)Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation Code Fairy (PlayStation 4/PlayStation 5)Arcade Paradise (PlayStation 4/PlayStation 5)Bang-On Balls: Chronicles (PlayStation 4/PlayStation 5)You Suck At Parking (PlayStation 4/PlayStation 5)Syberia The World Before (PlayStation 4/PlayStation 5)PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers will also gain access to a few more retro games, specifically FromSoftwares original trilogy of Armored Core games for the PlayStation 1.
