Roguelike enthusiasts can look forward to classic elements like procedurally generated levels, environmental challenges, and high replayability. Developer Evil Empire innovates by integrating parkour mechanics that allow players to climb most objects and interact with the environment seamlessly.

While the addition of this Prince of Persia entry is exciting, some may be disappointed to find that several games have recently exited the PS Plus Extra and Premium tiers in August. Titles such as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and EA Sports UFC 5 are no longer available.

As we continue through August, fans are hopeful for more surprises. With Gamescom happening now, there’s potential for more announcements. The Rogue Prince of Persia was showcased at Xbox’s Gamescom stream before being confirmed for both PS Plus Extra and Xbox Game Pass, suggesting even more unexpected additions could emerge soon.
