Introversion Software has done pretty well for itself with their Prison Architect on Steam for PC gamers. You may be familiar with the company’s hacking themed game Uplink which landed on Android some time ago. Well it looks like Prison Architect will be making the jump from PC to mobile devices and this includes Android.
For those of you not familiar with this game, Prison Architect is a prison management sim game where players essentially build and run their own prisons. This also means you will have to deal with all the problems big prisons deal with as well. Everything is in a top-down perspective as well and you will literally be building your prison from a small facility to a massive penitentiary while populating it with criminals and staff.

According to Introversion, the mobile version of Prison Architect will be as close to the PC version as possible. There may be some concessions such as a population cap but this would be more for lower powered tablets than because it can’t fit into the game. As of right now, it isn’t known if Prison Architect will be strictly for tablets or if there will be phone optimization as well. For right now though we are going to say it is tablet-only until it is confirmed for phones as well.
In regards to a release date and price, nothing has been announced as of yet. We are going to reach out to Introversion to see if we can’t more details and when we do, we will post an update.
