Prince of Persia launching on GameStick with Shadow and Flame

The Prince comes to PlayJam’s ultra-portable gaming console.

“As massive fans of Ubisoft games we are immensely proud that this hugely popular franchise is coming to GameStick,” says Sameer Baroova, Head of Games at PlayJam. “Rich, engaging games such as this are perfect examples of the type of content we are bringing to define the future of affordable big screen gaming. We look forward to working with Ubisoft and our entire developer community in the months to come to ensure a steady stream of high quality content for GameStick.”

“We have been following GameStick’s progress with keen interest since launch earlier this year,” says Frédéric Peltier, Business Development Manager at Ubisoft. “We feel this device and its target market presents an exciting opportunity to further broaden access to our games.”

The GameStick has been available for a little while now and it’s good to see the little Kickstarted system getting some bigger name games. Prince of Persia: The Shadow and the Flame is a great start for the console as the series is just about as long-running as any other on the video game landscape. This particular remake of the 1993 classic second game in the franchise was pretty highly lauded when it originally made its debut on iOS and Android too, so it’s a good one for all the side-scrolling, action/adventure lovers out there.

Prince of Persia: The Shadow and the Flame will be available soon on the GameStick store and the console itself is now available at retail and online for $79.99 USD.
