We are proud to announce “Future Tech”, the next expansion for Prison Architect!

Prison Architect · published

Have you pushed the current technology as far as it can go? Do your prisoners need more personalized tools in order to ensure the smooth running of your prison?

Well then, here at Paradox Interactive and Double Eleven we would like to announce Future Tech Pack, the ninth content update for Prison Architect. This mini-expansion introduces high-tech features for players to manage their compounds and inmates with greater security. We dare to go where current technology only hints about.

Releasing along with the Future Tech Pack is The Slam, a free patch containing some quality of life improvements, a Visitor Only zone, more categories for your Staff breaks, and more.

Future Tech Pack adds advancements in inmate monitoring, customization, and structure. Players can build controllable searchlights, keycard-activated doors, and more to upgrade their compounds. Inmates and guards also receive updated uniforms with a more futuristic design. This content is also compatible with Escape Mode, so players can take the perspective of an inmate and put this tech to the test with the goal of escaping the compounds they have created.

Prison Architect: Future Tech Pack Key Features:

Advanced Searchlights


This technological marvel tracks misbehaving inmates. Equipped with a CCTV camera, a dramatic cone of light, and a siren, nothing will go unnoticed. The best thing? You can operate the searchlights yourself!

New floors, Futuristic Doors, and Keycards


Squares are a thing of the past — embrace the future with hexagonal and triangular tiles. Thanks to the new shiny keycards that open every futuristic door, your guards won't need keys anymore.

Tracking Devices


Equip the most troublesome prisoners with tracking devices. Through this new section in the security menu you can select which prisoners need extra monitoring. The tracking devices will allow them access through designated keycard doors, tell you instantly of any new addictions, and, most importantly, instantly inform you if they dare to leave the range of your routers using the new tracking monitors in the security room.

Structural Updates


Say goodbye to concrete walls and welcome Glass. With Glass walls, you can keep an eye on your inmates at all times. Who needs privacy? If you deem it necessary, there is also an Electrified Fence at your disposal.

Aesthetics and Robot-Dogs


We have reworked the design of inmates' and staffs’ uniforms, for a more futuristic look. And don’t forget Subwoofer and Byte, the two new robot guard dogs.

Coming November 22nd for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
