The primary risks in Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (PSP) stem from its depiction of fantasy violence, where the Prince engages in combat with sand monsters and human-like assassins. While not overly graphic, the constant combat and defeat of enemies could be a concern for younger or more sensitive players. Some elements of fear and horror may be present due to the nature of the enemies and the dark themes of the narrative, such as the evil spirit Ahihud. The game does not feature any social risks or monetization pressures.
