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.

Add-ons
Each DLC is estimated with the same model as a game, then summed — a modeled figure, not reported DLC sales.
Sums Steam only; GOG, Epic publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

Every market we collect.
Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
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.

Неплохая игра
Ich finde es Super, und top zum Relaxen.
Good game! It's fun if you like strategy games. DLC are overpirced, classic Paradox.
Everyone in my Prison died in a fire 10/10
**Prison Architect** is easily one of my favourite management games. With nearly **300 hours played**, I still find myself returning to build new prisons, test different layouts and try completely different approaches. The freedom and replayability are what make it so enjoyable. You can focus on efficiency, security, rehabilitation or simply create total chaos and see what happens. No two prisons ever seem to develop in quite the same way, especially once the inmates and staff begin creating their own problems. It has a few bugs and can become difficult to manage in larger prisons, but the depth, creativity and endless sandbox possibilities more than make up for it. A brilliant game that has given me hundreds of hours of entertainment.
Make no mistake, despite the goofy graphics, this is a cold bureaucracy simulator. You will become a monster. You will love paperwork. Run while you still can; avoid at all costs!
