The Rogue Prince of Persia Rated for PS5, Xbox, Switch, and PC
So, here’s the scoop. The Australian classification board just gave The Rogue Prince of Persia a rating for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
This is a pretty big deal because, until now, the game was only out on PC (and Nintendo Switch) — and only as early access. This new rating hints that the full game will soon come to consoles, maybe as soon as August 2025, which matches the expected full PC launch.
Evil Empire, the developer behind this title, also worked on the popular roguelite Dead Cells, so fans can expect tight, skill-based gameplay. The Rogue Prince of Persia mixes classic Prince of Persia wall-running and acrobatic moves with roguelite mechanics, meaning every run through the game can be different.
While Ubisoft hasn’t officially said anything about console releases, this rating suggests the wait won’t be much longer. So, if you’ve been hoping to play this on your console, August could be your month.
What to Expect From The Rogue Prince of Persia
The game throws you into an action-packed adventure set in Persia, where you wake up in an oasis after fighting off magic-wielding enemies. When you die, a mysterious ball brings you back in time to try again — classic roguelite stuff. Along the way, you’ll unlock new weapons, medallions, and moves to help you survive the city’s challenges.
Combat is smooth and fast, switching between wall-running, kicks, dodges, and stomps to take down enemies. The iconic wall-running lets you explore new areas and dodge traps, adding a lot of verticality and freedom to your movement.
The game also tells its story in a non-linear way, so every run feels fresh with new characters and lore to discover. With randomly generated levels and lots of upgrades, there’s always something new to explore and master.
Overall, this rating is exciting news for Prince of Persia fans and roguelite lovers alike. So, keep an eye out for more official announcements as we get closer to that August release.
