Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown PC specs reveal you only need a GeForce GTX 1060 for 4K 60fps

Ubisoft's Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a side-scrolling action-adventure launching on January 18 for PC and console, and ahead of its launch, the publisher has outlined the PC hardware you'll need for the best performance. It's more of an assurance that most PC gamers will have no problem playing this game in 4K at 60 frames per second.

According to the PC specs for the Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, to achieve 4K 60fps, all you need is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6GB) or AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT (8GB) graphics card. The CPU requirements for 4K60 are modest, too: an Intel Core i7-6700 or an AMD Ryzen 5 1600. Yeah, that's a mid-range first-gen Ryzen.

With such modest specs, you might think it doesn't look all that impressive, but that's not the case. With an evocative art style, detailed worlds, and fast-paced action, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown looks great. With its old-school side-scrolling presentation, it could become a sleeper hit and a great boost for the dormant Prince of Persia franchise.
