Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Latest in each market: best UK #79, worst BR #94 · 5 markets collected
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2.71/day in the week to Aug 26 → 11.14/day in the week after.

Reviews
Prison Architect est un excellent jeu de gestion qui permet de construire et gérer sa prison exactement comme on le souhaite. La direction artistique est simple mais très agréable, et le jeu offre énormément de liberté dans l’organisation des bâtiments, de la sécurité et de la gestion des détenus. Le mode histoire est également un très bon point, car il aide à bien comprendre les mécaniques du jeu et permet de prendre facilement le gameplay en main. Le jeu est globalement très stable, même avec des prisons de grande taille, et il comporte relativement peu de bugs. La communauté est aussi très active et propose énormément de mods qui ajoutent du contenu et améliorent encore davantage l’expérience de jeu. Je recommande fortement ce jeu, même pour les joueurs disposant d’un petit PC, car il reste bien optimisé, stable et facilement adaptable à différentes configurations.

Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

видос круче смотреть чем играть
Its always fun to imprison people and put them in terrible living spaces so they can be tortured by it.
fun but cant wait for 2
Only bad thing about this game is it being an EA game
is an easy game to learn hard to master
love it
fun
Un bon jeu de gestion sympa, bien également pour les joueurs occasionnels, les différents modes de jeu ; le workshop permet de faire ce que l’on veut avec la prison. Cependant, il y a une certaine prise en main à avoir avec le temps, aussi bien sur l’aspect technique que fonctionnel. Amusant de pouvoir bien gérer sa prison en surveillant les finances, les besoins des prisonniers, la sécurité ou, au contraire, de faire des émeutes. Les graphismes sont simples mais efficaces. Je le recommande toujours, même si le 2 est annoncé depuis un moment.
Prison Architect este un joc de management si simulare a unei inchisori, oferind libertatea de a construi si administra propria inchisoare exact asa ♥♥♥ iti doresti. De la proiectarea celulelor si a cantinei pana la gestionarea personalului si a detinutilor, fiecare decizie are un impact asupra functionarii inchisorii. Gameplay-ul este complex, dar usor de invatat. Pe masura ce inchisoarea se extinde, apar noi provocari precum revoltele, tentativele de evadare, contrabanda sau administrarea bugetului. Gasirea echilibrului dintre siguranta detinutilor, eficienta personalului si profit face jocul extrem de captivant. Desi grafica este simpla, stilul artistic este placut si foarte usor de urmarit, iar interfata ofera toate informatiile necesare pentru a administra inchisoarea fara dificultati. Exista si o multime de optiuni de personalizare, ceea ce face ca fiecare inchisoare construita sa fie diferita. Un mare plus este faptul ca nu esti limitat doar la rolul de administrator. Poti juca atat ca Warden, construind si gestionand inchisoarea, cat si ca detinut, incercand sa supravietuiesti, sa iti construiesti o reputatie sau chiar sa evadezi. Acest lucru adauga un plus de varietate si face jocul mult mai interesant. Jocul include si un mod multiplayer, unde poti construi si administra o inchisoare impreuna cu un prieten. Cooperarea face gestionarea mult mai dinamica, iar planificarea si organizarea alaturi de altcineva adauga un plus de distractie si rejucabilitate. Cu un continut bogat si o valoare mare de rejucare, Prison Architect reuseste sa ramana interesant chiar si dupa zeci sau sute de ore petrecute in joc.
