About

Prince of Persia (2008) is an action-adventure platformer from Ubisoft Montreal that blends fluid combat with environmental puzzle-solving. The game follows an unnamed prince through ancient Persia alongside his companion Elika, featuring a unique art style and innovative parkour-based traversal that defined the franchise during its time.

Running Prince of Persia is quite accessible by modern standards, making it an excellent benchmark title for older systems or integrated graphics. Even entry-level GPUs can achieve smooth 60+ FPS at 1080p with high graphics settings, while minimum specs call for just 1 GB RAM and a CPU score around 154. For reference, you can expect solid performance and high frame rates even on budget graphics cards, making performance testing straightforward.

If you enjoy action-adventure games with a strong artistic vision, Prince of Persia's 77/100 rating reflects a solid experience worth revisiting. The game's accessible performance requirements make it ideal for benchmarking purposes on a variety of PC configurations.

Performance profile

December 2008 release. Prince of Persia targets mid-2000s-to-early-2010s hardware — any modern entry-level GPU (GTX 1650 tier or newer integrated graphics) handles it at 1080p Ultra without breaking a sweat.

Prince of Persia is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.

Extremely light — Prince of Persia runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.

Storyline

Prince of Persia takes place in an undefined ancient Persian city-state based heavily around the religion of Zoroastrianism. A thousand years before the events of the game take place, there was a struggle for power between the gods Ahriman and Ormazd. The outcome of the struggle was that Ormazd and his people, the Ahura, managed to imprison Ahriman and his minions, the Corrupted, in a tree. Ormazd then left the world, leaving the Ahura to make sure Ahriman remains secure. They are successful for a thousand years, at which point the Ahura started to believe that Ahriman and Ormazd were myths due to their inactivity, and most departed. Shortly before the events of the game, Ahriman is about to be freed again
