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.

Sums Steam only; GOG, Epic publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

fun game sometimes boring its like the 2 week on minecraft but its for a week
I think it's a nice game for those who enjoy SIM-styled games. Simple. Meditative. Sometimes hilarious.
Good game for torture people who did bad things . I recommend it

Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 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.

Really fun game, albeit a little repetitive. Prison Architect 2 is just a cash grab, as are the numerous DLCs but the game itself is good. Id recommend waiting until it's on sale as I dont think its worth £25, but still a decent game with a sandbox mode, some small stories to follow, and more. You dont realise how long youve been playing until you actually go check lmao
10/10 started amini hunger games esc fight club then executed the winners
Great prison-building experience, packed with features and additions to the game to make each new start different. Prisons are realistic, going out-of-control if not monitored and managed correctly. Mutators and DLCs help adding further realism, such as gangs controlling areas, more escape routes, etc. Great experience and a tough challenge to manage. Tough budgets also add an extra element of difficulty, such as levels of prisoners themselves paying more - with criminally insane requiring their own treatment. Great game all around, solid 10/10 to play, chill and pass time.
I have played this game for hundreds of hours on both steam and xbox. The amount of love and care the dev team have poured into making this game is reflected throughout as I've watched it grow from when it was still in beta. The quality of life updates, all the dlcs that make the game that much better brings endless amounts of fun. Definitely try this one when you get the chance!
