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.

Prison Architect est l’un des jeux de gestion les plus intelligents et les plus captivants du genre. Il parvient à transformer un concept atypique, celui de construire et gérer une prison, en une expérience riche, stratégique et étonnamment immersive. Chaque décision influence le fonctionnement global de l’établissement, qu’il s’agisse de la disposition des cellules, de l’organisation des routines quotidiennes ou de la gestion des incidents. Le gameplay est profond, clair et très bien pensé, ce qui permet d’imaginer une infinité de prisons différentes, allant du centre de réhabilitation modèle à la forteresse ultra sécurisée. Le style visuel volontairement simple met en valeur la dimension stratégique du jeu et laisse toute la place aux histoires émergentes. Les prisonniers, les gardiens, les imprévus et les tensions créent une dynamique vivante qui donne envie d’anticiper, d’optimiser et de réagir avec sang‑froid. Chaque partie raconte quelque chose de différent et c’est ce qui rend Prison Architect particulièrement addictif. La rejouabilité est immense grâce aux scénarios, aux mises à jour régulières et au contenu proposé par la communauté. On revient facilement pour tester de nouvelles idées, corriger ses erreurs ou repousser les limites de son imagination. En résumé, Prison Architect est un véritable bijou de gestion, à la fois profond, créatif et passionnant. Un incontournable pour tous ceux qui aiment les jeux de stratégie et de simulation.

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 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.

É um jogo 2d de história curta. Apesar de apresentar uma infinidade de formas p/ construir a sua prisão, não há uma história contínua que você possa desenvolver. Apenas os tutoriais e conquistas.
$30 for a ten-year-old game that's not getting ANY updates any more with most of the good new content from said updates being locked behind 13 paid DLCs is biblical levels of greed. I don't care if it's a sandbox game and there's limitless possibilities or whatever, don't buy this at full price. Even if it is a pretty good game.
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.
Build your dream prison
Ce jeu est vraiment incroyable je le recommande vivement
Used to run on mac :(
It's fun and addictive, but it's way too buggy and unpolished for a game that's $30. Get it if it's on sale, but don't pay more than half price for it--less if you can. Just not worth the price.
Pretty fun.
workers love building 80% of the building then stopping and doing nothing for 5 days until i just exit the game
