The new DLC for prison-management sim Prison Architect arrives on consoles this week. Called Psych Ward, this new DLC pack includes two new Wardens, two pre-built prisons and two building plots. 

It also introduces a new inmate type: The Criminally Insane, some of whom are classed as ‘Psychopathic Inmates. The full content of the DLC runs thusly:

  • The Criminally Insane – inmates with new and varied reputations and traits, forcing players to explore new approaches to prison management.
  • Psychopathic Inmates – The most volatile and unpredictable criminally insane inmates have 5 or more traits and are branded Psychopathic! Keep a watchful eye out for these guys stepping off the bus.
  • Psychiatrist staff member – Hold consultation sessions to help support your prisoners’ needs.
  • New room types – Who doesn’t love their own space? Padded cells gradually improve inmate’s desires for Privacy, Comfort, Safety and Freedom, as well as feelings of Suppression.
  • Breakout!- A new game preference setting which allows you to ramp up the frequency of prisoner tunnel attempts. 
  • Two new Wardens- Hawk Hartman improves the performance of guards, while Dr Slugworth offers additional benefits for Criminally Insane inmates.
  • 2 new pre-built prisons and 2 new building plots to use in Prison Warden mode.

  So there’s a thing. Psych Out is out today, June 6, for PS4, and June 9 for Xbox One.
