Thanks for the reply, very informative. I couldn't wait all weekend for a reply so went ahead and purchased the game anyway.😀

Done the first 2 Prison Stories, a lot of different things going on that I have to get use to but so far I am loving it. The Xbox needs games like this desperately, a thinking mans game.

Think I'll spend my time between now and release getting use to everything.

Couple of other questions, will there be an instruction manual for the game online? And will achievements be retroactive??

Great work!!

How long will it be until we see some features added to the xbox one game preview version? and will there be any exclusive features for consoles?

D11_D.Arquette 2016-03-08 08:10:06 UTC #90

Yep, there certainly will be a Help file that comes with the digital game and we'll have number of tips, tricks and guides on https://prisonarchitect.double11.com/ provided by Devs and our Community.
Achievements: No, not necessarily, but if you boot up the map or level that meets the achievement requirements you will be awarded the achievement.

We have no set date for when updates will go live, as we're generally reacting to feedback from the community. So they'll appear when we feel our current build is up to being shared with the world. We're currently working on a huge update, with a lot of feedback from the community thus far, that changes a lot of the UI elements in some areas, such as Security Sectors.
We have a number of new and exclusive Wardens, World of Wardens our online prison sharing system and of course our interface re-design. You can also check out what's different about the interface in this forum post. https://forums.double11.com/t/what-s-the-difference/33

Are you going to add the escape mode in the near future if there is demand? And if you are, good luck finding a way to make the controls work

D11_D.Arquette 2016-03-08 11:31:43 UTC #95

Yep, if the demand is there for Escape Mode and other stuff we may add it in the future. Haha thanks, I'm sure we'll figure something out.

This may sound stupid, but can anybody buy PA on Xbox one, lr do I need something special.

UnearthlyGem 2016-03-10 22:32:30 UTC #97

Hi i'm an xb1 player and new to PA, enjoying what I've played so far and I suppose my similar played game history for this platform type is PC theme hospital. And I have one question......... MUSIC?.... background music is all I want to have with this game, nothing better than zoning out with an addictive background soundtrack you love to hate and that you hum unknowingly. Any chance of background beats? TY

Hi, thanks for your question.

As the game is currently in Xbox One Game Preview, Prison Architect is only available in a selection of countries. If you let us know where you're based, we will check whether you will be able to find the game in your store or not.

I live in the United States of America.

AREAL_CO 2016-03-12 06:15:16 UTC #100

One question... Why? I can't believe there is a game like this even being made. I don't find this entertaining at all. People getting enjoyment out of it... Crazy.

edward19 2016-03-12 15:46:45 UTC #101

Then why are you here? a******

If i buy the Xbox one Preview version of the game, will i get the game when the final release comes out too, or will i have to buy the game again?

youngspikes 2016-03-13 11:27:26 UTC #103

I have a question that may have been answered already but im going to ask it anyways, will this game be out for IOS? It would be a great game to have on the go!

tonysoldier319 2016-03-13 16:26:58 UTC #104

Can someone answer ?

wydyadoit 2016-03-14 19:51:06 UTC #105

Ever considered making a few more branch off versions of the architect game style like hospital/restaurant/military/crime/city/etc. architect? Seeing those little clips during the story mode made me realize how short of a jump it would be with the great setup you've brought to console.

D11_D.Arquette 2016-03-15 10:09:02 UTC #107

You should see it Tony, have you searched the Xbox Store? Are you younger than 17?

Elementcreeper9 2016-03-15 21:24:58 UTC #108

When I saw it on Xbox One, unknowingly that it would come out on it, I instantly bought it and instantly played it.

The game is great and I love games like it.
I hope you fix it up enough so it can be released. Honestly I don't think your release it this month but hopefully you release it soon.
But enough of that.
What are the standards of the convicts that have to be met to be in the game?
