Im very interested in this game and would like to purchase it through my XB1. I would like to know if there is an expected date for the game to be released into a full version through the XB1, or if thats unpredictable, how often does the XB1 Platform game receive generous updates of missing content or new content, which attempts to make the XB1 version as good as the PC version (or better?? ). Thankyou, and im looking forward to this game none the less.

I believe it's already the full version but Xbox one just says preview

@TheDeadlyCookie hi, it's already the full release out on Xbox One now. There was a Game Preview label still on the stor page but I believe that is gone now. The console game is not running alongside the PC version. Any updates and content additions will be based on consumer demand and the size of the player community. It almost certainly will never be the same as the PC edition.

Hi, developer.
Congrats for launch! I have just begun to play but I found I'll love it.

Btw, in Japanese Xbox store, this game title is all written in Japanese Hiragana like "ぷりずん・あーきてくとえっくすぼっくすわんえでぃしょん".
It's not usual case because it looks weird, even childish who can't write polite Japanese. It doesn't match this game.

I recommend title is written in Katakana like "プリズン・アーキテクト Xbox Oneエディション".

I wish more games well localized coming to Japan and your game coming more popular, Thank you.

Hi @BobYAMADA, Thank you for the feedback. Xbox actually specify that titles be submitted in Hiragana. We have attempted to submit using Katakana in the past and had Xbox request resubmission!

Hmm, it's weird. Many games are using Katakana such as Witcher or Battleborn. Maybe rules of ID Xbox is wrong because all Katakana title seem to be AAA games.
It's better using English in title. Kyub coming soon indie game is also Kyub in Japan and in-game language is Japanese. It is also cool for Japanese gamer.
Anyway, thank you for responding!

But is there a way to manually change cells between prisoners on consoles like in the pc version https://forums.double11.com/t/ask-the-developers/34/278?u=kurkomoka

D11_Nat 2016-07-05 15:19:13 UTC #331

Hi @BobYAMADA, good news! We've spoken to Microsoft and they're changing the title to Katakana! It'll be updated in a few days. Thanks for pointing this out for us.

@Kurkomoka I'm afraid not. Inmates will automatically go to the best available cell for their security type. I got around this by putting inmates into protective custody, breaking the cell I want them to move from and then they'll move to the new one (unless you've got lots of empty cells!).

How do I move prisoners between cells?

BobYAMADA 2016-07-05 15:34:52 UTC #332

I'm glad to hear that 😊 Every Japanese Xbox gamers will love this game!

Hi i want to know if bunk beds and dormitorys will be added for ps4 version please. I though that the ps4 version had everything the pc version had. Is ps4 version just behind on updates or will some things just not get added at all ?

Jesseas123 2016-07-05 21:49:48 UTC #335

The ps4 version will not be a clone of the PC version it will have its own stuff if demand is high so if demand is high we could see that and maybe escape mode or even other things the PC does not have

WardenJim 2016-07-06 04:23:00 UTC #336

I was asking if bunk beds and dormitorys would be added ?

Jesseas123 2016-07-06 04:49:51 UTC #337

Oh my bad they said if demand is High they will add more things so anything is possible

chrisshiff 2016-07-06 06:44:54 UTC #338

Hey, i have a question. I have the game for Xbox one and i was wondering if escape mode is included in xbox one like pc? or is it taken out?

Jesseas123 2016-07-06 08:00:43 UTC #339

Not in there, they said if demand is high they will add more things

D11_Nat 2016-07-06 09:10:07 UTC #340

Hi all, @Jesseas123 was correct there- any future updates will be based on community interest and the size of the user base etc. The console version does not run alongside the PC release and there are some aspects of the PC version which don't exist on console, and vice versa.

I'm probably going to write up a blog post about it later to give a little bit more background on the decision, I'll make sure to cross post it to the forum too.

WardenJim 2016-07-06 10:40:45 UTC #341

Ok so escape mode dormitorys and bunk beds are not in game a.t.m but may be added in future . (lol i didn,t know escape mode wasn,t in ps4 version either hope it gets added). Thanx for reply

Jesseas123 2016-07-06 12:00:06 UTC #342

Be a interesting read I'm sure

D11_Nat 2016-07-06 12:01:41 UTC #343

Hehee not really, it'll mainly be a longer version of stuff that I've already said, but squeezed into one place
