Prison Architect 2 Delayed to September 3 - News

Tweet

Publisher Paradox Interactive and developer Double Eleven have announced Prison Architect 2 has once again been delayed. This time the game has been delayed from May 7 to September 3.

Prison Architect 2 is in development for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

"We have made the hard decision of delaying Prison Architect 2 from May 7th to September 3rd," said the developer on the Paradox forums.

"While we currently have builds certified on all platforms and are ready to release, some issues regarding memory usage and minimum spec configurations experiencing more failures have emerged. Considering the legacy of Prison Architect, and you - our passionate community, we want to ship the best possible sequel to such a beloved game, without cutting corners to do so.

"With the release date getting closer, we carried out further testing on the final build using multiple configurations to verify its stability. These tests result in a MBTF (mean time between failure) report, the method used to get this result is playing the game until a failure arises. A failure can mean a variety of things, for example, a crash, freeze, or other play-halting issues. In this report, we noticed that on specific configurations the game was not hitting our MTBF target, with this being particularly true for minimum specs configurations."
