Evil Empire released the Anniversary update for The Rogue Prince of Persia on 17 September, a year after the full version came out in August. It is free to anyone who already owns the game, and there is a decent amount in it: new weapons and tools, a new element, and two modes built for the people who replay the same run until they know it by heart.
The 75% discount that has been doing the rounds since is real. It is just not on Steam, where most PC players look first and where the game is back at full price. Here is what the update adds, where each price actually sits, and what our own records say about waiting.
What the Anniversary update adds
Two new weapons and four new tools, one of them a trap that lets you dodge an attack and finish the enemy off in the same movement. Ice arrives as a new element: it freezes and slows enemies down, which is handy in the rooms where half a dozen of them pile in at once.
The bigger additions are modes. Combat Zones throws waves of enemies at you, each one tougher than the last, and the Arena gets new challenges. Speedrun Mode has timers built in, so nobody needs a stopwatch on a second monitor any more. Parkour Mode puts the fighting aside altogether: wall-running, routes, agility.
Evil Empire also went back over the difficulty. The first biomes are shorter but the game is harder overall, the Palace boss has been redesigned and is a good deal nastier, and the other bosses have been rebalanced. If you finished it last year, the opening hour will not play the way you remember.
The game is out on PS5, Xbox Series, Switch, Switch 2 and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store), and it is included in Ubisoft+.
The 75% cut sits on Ubisoft's own shop
Price trackers put that 75% on the Ubisoft Store, as part of the sale Ubisoft is running for its 40th anniversary. We do not track the Ubisoft Store for this game, so you will get no euro figure and no end date from us on something we have not read ourselves. Look at the final price there before deciding.
One practical detail. A copy bought on the Ubisoft Store activates in Ubisoft Connect: no Steam key, and nothing appearing in your Steam library. If that suits you, this sale is very likely the cheapest way to own the game this week.
Steam is at €29.99, eight days after its last sale
No discount on Steam today: €29.99 (no fees), Steam Key. Reviews there are Very Positive, 89% of 2,394.
The timing is what hurts. Our Steam price history (store prices, no fees) shows three sales in five months:
- €9.75 from 8 May to 13 June.
- €8.99 from 25 June to 21 July, the lowest Steam price in our records.
- €11.99 from 28 August to 11 September.
The rest of the time, and today, €29.99. That last sale ended on 11 September, so anyone who waited for the update before buying on Steam missed it by about a week.
Given the pattern, paying €29.99 on Steam right now is the least attractive of your options. If it has to be the Steam version, set a price alert and you will hear about it when it drops back towards €9-12.
What the resellers have: accounts and gifts
Eleven live offers on our page, and not one of them is an ordinary reseller key. The five cheapest once payment fees are added:
- Difmark: €6.71 with coupon Gocdkeys (€7.01 with fees), Steam Account.
- G2A: €12.81 with coupon GCKG2AH9K2L (€13.10 with fees), Steam Account.
- Kinguin: €12.03 with coupon SEPGOC10 (€13.34 with fees), Steam Account.
- K4G: €26.47 with coupon GCDK14DEAL (€29.12 with fees), Steam Gift.
- G2A: €29.11 with coupon GCKG2AH9K2L (€29.40 with fees), Steam Gift.
The first three are Steam Accounts. You receive the login for somebody else's account with the game sitting on it. It never goes into your own library, and if that account is closed or its password changes, you lose access. We would rather own a copy, but the choice is yours: €7.01 with fees is a long way below €29.99, and some players only want to get through it once.
A Steam Gift does end up in your library, sent to you as a present from another account for you to accept. The trouble here is the price. The cheapest, at K4G, comes to €29.12 with fees, 87 cents under Steam. Every other gift on the page costs more than Steam itself, up to €37.39 with fees for the one at Difmark Digital Keys. Paying a reseller more than Valve charges for the same game is hard to justify.
One more figure you may run into: our monthly history, which mixes every shop and format, shows a low of €5.17 in September (no fees, no coupon). That was an account, not a copy you keep, so do not treat it as the going price.
Buy now or wait?
If Ubisoft Connect does not bother you, the Ubisoft Store sale is where to go this week. Check the final price there; it is the only shop where the 75% applies.
If you want it on Steam, wait. Three sales in five months, the last one barely over, and €29.99 in between. Keep the alert on, and when the number is where you want it, go straight to Valve, or look at our page first in case a proper key has turned up by then and buy The Rogue Prince of Persia key there.
Prices read on the morning of 19 September.
