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.

If you have ever stared at a bustling ant colony and thought about how satisfying it would be to manage every little detail of their underground empire, Prison Architect is the exact experience you are looking for. On the surface, it purports to be a game about building and managing a correctional facility. In reality, it is the most addictive and elaborate anthill simulator ever created. From the second you lay down the first foundation, you are not just managing human beings; you are observing thousands of tiny ants scuttling through meticulously planned tunnels and chambers. What Makes the Colony Thrive Endless Nest Customization: Design every inch of your anthill. You lay down concrete and steel to construct specialized chambers, from communal feeding halls and exercise yards to secure sleeping burrows. Watching your workers dig out corridors and transport raw materials into the heart of the nest never gets old. Intricate Worker Behavior: The sheer emergent detail in these little ants is fascinating. Each ant arrives at the nest with its own specific mood, needs, and record. Some just want a quiet burrow to rest, while others are bent on starting a massive colony riot if their demands for better food or free time are not met. Security and Containment: Keeping a colony of unruly ants inside the mound takes serious planning. You need to position your soldier ants along critical checkpoints, establish patrol routes through main tunnels, and deploy metal detectors to catch contraband being smuggled into the nest. Dynamic Chaos Under the Surface The true magic of the game lies in how quickly order can descend into absolute chaos. One minor oversight in your tunnel layout or a shortage of meals in the main chamber, and your entire anthill erupts. Digging out tunnels, fighting off rogue worker factions, and preventing major nest escapes becomes a constant, highly rewarding puzzle. The visual style reinforces this feeling completely. The top-down perspective makes your inmates look and behave exactly like a swarm of organized insects, making every success feel like a masterclass in colony control. Final Verdict Prison Architect is a masterpiece of management and design. It gives you complete mastery over a living, breathing anthill where every decision impacts the delicate balance of the nest. It comes highly recommended for anyone who loves deep strategy, complex logistics, and watching a miniature world come to life.

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 22 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,513 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.

I personally enjoy sandbox themed games and this checks the boxes for me. The game mechanics are quite realistic, you can spend a while designing your prison and setting your own regimes and such. You can even escape your own prisons as well, which is actually pretty cool. The game's also quite modded, which is a great substitute than buying their overpriced DLCs. The game can get repetitive overtime and I do tend to take breaks from the game every now and then. One gripe I have about Prison Architect has to be their constant fixations to adding DLCs to the game and refusing to add any further updates to the existing game unless it's paywalled, even despite the base game costing £25 (I got it when it was on sale for £18). I also feel like Prison Architect 2 is never coming out, because they keep delaying development and it has been over 2 years, not to mention the quality of game and graphics is something that I really dislike just from the trailers alone.
Great game, love the ui
good
