  "account": "Beginning on September 24, players can try Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown for free on Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch 2 until September 30. This 2D Metroidvania-style game from Ubisoft Montpellier can be downloaded entirely as a demo. To access it, Nintendo Switch Online members must be logged in; however, completing a mission during this period grants 100 My Nintendo Platinum Points. IGN gave the game an excellent score of eight out of ten, acknowledging its refreshing take on the series while maintaining the essence of past titles. Despite the game's acclaim, Ubisoft ultimately disbanded the development team due to poor sales, and a sequel was ultimately cancelled. However, certain updates, story DLC, and a mobile port have kept the game alive. Players interested in The Lost Crown should check out the IGN's walkthrough and the interactive map and checklist.",
