Jump into Prison Architect with the ‘Starter Edition’. This bundle includes the base game, plus ‘Island Bound’, ‘Psych Ward: Warden’s Edition’ and ‘Gangs’. Take your prison offshore, house the criminally insane, and stop gang warfare from boiling over.

Take the warden's chair and your first steps into Prison Architect, the acclaimed management sim that hands you a plot of land, a budget, and the world's most ruthless inmates. Design your own maximum security penitentiary from the ground up — and discover that the hardest part of building the perfect prison is the people you put inside it.

The Starter Edition gives you access to the base game and three expansions — adding offshore logistics, a wing for the criminally insane, and gang warfare — to make your first stint in Prison Architect a rich and rewarding one.

Prison Architect: Starter Edition includes:

Prison Architect:

Only the world's most ruthless Warden can contain the world's most ruthless inmates. Design and develop your personalized penitentiary in Prison Architect, allocating resources to optimize your compound — but don't restrict the flow of the crowd, lest you encounter a flood, fire, fight, or full-blown riot.

Prison Architect - Island Bound:

Welcome to The Rock, Wardens! Island Bound introduces new ways to build and manage your prison with helicopters, ships, and lots of water. Link docks, helipads, and roads to specific deliveries, search everything coming through your checkpoints, and call in Air Firefighters, Elite Ops Teams, and Air Paramedics when things get out of hand. Includes two premade maps: Alcatraz Prison and Alcatraz Island.

Prison Architect - Psych Ward: Warden's Edition:

Your prison will be more lively than ever with the arrival of the criminally insane. Build a dedicated wing with padded cells and padded floors, hire Psychiatrists and trained Orderlies, and develop treatment sessions to meet the needs of inmates no other facility will hold. Comes with new objects, floors, and wall types — and new contraband for your prisoners to steal.

Prison Architect - Gangs:

Gang warfare comes to your compound. Gangs form through intake and recruitment, each with its own personality and traits, and the Boiling Point meter shows exactly how close your prison is to going off. Reform members in the Tattoo Removal Room and the Fight Club Room, and watch your own staff — gangs will bribe and coerce guards into smuggling, so vet your hires and recruit C.I.s to find the ones who've turned.
