Nintendo Switch Online members can try Prince of Persia The Lost Crown until September 30

Nintendo Switch Online members in Canada have a short window to try Prince of Persia The Lost Crown at no additional charge. The Nintendo Canada announcement says the full game trial runs from September 24 at 10 a.m. PT through September 30 at 11:59 p.m. PT on Nintendo Switch.

The trial is a full-game test, but the clock is strict

This is not a demo with one opening slice removed from the rest of the campaign. Nintendo describes a Game Trial of the full Prince of Persia The Lost Crown experience, which means members can use the limited period to judge its movement, combat, exploration, and story for themselves.

The practical catch is the fixed end time. The trial closes at 11:59 p.m. PT on September 30, so Canadian players should convert that deadline to their local time and leave room for the download before the window expires. Nintendo Switch Online membership is required to access the offer.

What Canadian players should check before downloading

The offer is tied to Nintendo Switch Online rather than a permanent price reduction. Check that the correct Nintendo Account is linked to an active membership, then open the Nintendo eShop on the Switch system you plan to use. Nintendo’s Game Trial page is the best place to confirm the listing and timing.

As with other time-limited trials, the value depends on how quickly you can start. A household that already pays for Switch Online can treat this as a low-friction way to sample Ubisoft’s action-platformer; someone without membership should compare the cost of joining against the short access period instead of assuming the trial is a free standalone download.

Why The Lost Crown is a useful trial candidate

Prince of Persia The Lost Crown is built around precision movement through a connected world, with combat and traversal systems that reveal themselves through repeated play. A timed trial is particularly useful here because a short session can answer whether the controls feel natural before a player commits to a full purchase.

The game is also an established published title in Juiso’s catalog, so this guide links directly to its price-tracker page rather than treating the trial as a standalone promotion. That makes the trial useful for two decisions: whether the game itself fits your taste, and whether the current Canadian eShop price is worth paying after the access window closes.

A simple plan for the remaining trial days

Start with the opening movement and combat lessons, then play long enough to reach the first section that combines exploration with platforming. That gives you a better signal than rushing through a single fight. If the movement loop clicks, use the remaining time to see whether the map structure and upgrade rhythm keep you engaged.

Finally, save your purchase decision for a separate check of the Canadian Nintendo eShop listing. Nintendo’s announcement establishes the dates and membership requirement; it does not promise a permanent discount after the trial. The safest takeaway is simple: members have until September 30 to test the game, and the price tracker can help with the next step.
