Founded way, way back in 1986, Ubisoft is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. When you’re a company that develops and publishes video games, what better way to celebrate such a joyous occasion than by offering some of your legendary titles for the awesome price of free?

That’s precisely what Ubisoft is doing to celebrate its 30th. Via The Ubisoft Club, it’s offering 7 PC games for free. But not all at once, one every month until the end of the year. And the first game that you can get for free is…


Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time



What is Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time?
It’s a third-person action-adventure puzzle-platformer.


You play as the titular Prince of Persia, who gets tricked by the treacherous Vizier to release the Sands of Time. The sands turn everyone in the city of Azad into savage monsters, meaning it’s now up to you to make everything right again.

The game is mainly centered around solving puzzles, which require you to run on walls and perform other acrobatic feats. But there’s fighting as well. When you’re not solving puzzles, you’re fighting the creatures that the Sands of Time created.

Oh, and speaking about the Sands of Time, they allow you to turn back time. So if you fall off a ledge for example, use the Dagger of Time to turn back time and try again. But mind you, you can’t do this indefinitely. The dagger doesn’t hold an infinite amount of sand. You’ll have to recharge it when it runs out of sand, something you can do by defeating enemies and by finding sand clouds.



When can I get Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time for free?
Anytime during the month of June, 2016.


To celebrate its 30th anniversary, Ubisoft will give away a total of 7 PC games from its extensive library. One in June, one in July, one in August, and so on until December. The game that Ubisoft is giving away this month, June 2016, is Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. We’ve no idea what other games will be released in the following months.




Where can I get Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time?
The Ubisoft Club.


This June, you can get Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time for free from The Ubisoft Club. Please note that you will need the Uplay client and an Uplay account to be able to download the game.

Since this game is 13-years old, its system requirements are quite low: an 800MHz processor, 256MB of RAM or more, 1.5GB of storage space, and a 64Mb graphics card will suffice.
