News: The popular DLC mode arrives on Sony and Microsoft’s platform this week with the Switch getting the DLC in a few weeks.

Publisher and developer Double Eleven has revealed that the Escape Mode DLC for the multi-million selling Prison Architect is now live on PlayStation 4 and will launch on Xbox One on August 31. The Nintendo Switch version of Escape Mode will launch in a few weeks.

The Escape Mode DLC is based on the well-loved PC mode, where players can take on the role of an inmate and attempt to escape the prisons built by themselves and others. In Prison Architect, players build and manage their own maximum security prison to hold the most hardened of criminals.

Fans already playing Prison Architect on Xbox One can nab Escape Mode on its own or via a DLC bundle on August 31st (which includes all Prison Architect DLC, All Day and a Night, Psych Ward and Escape Mode), and those new to the title can pick up the base game as part of Microsoft’s Games With Gold promotion starting September 1st.

Originally released on PC in 2015 from developer and publisher Introversion Software, the game has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide and achieved critical acclaim among dozens of global media outlets.

Take a look at the new trailer that was released to accompany this announcement and then tell us what you think. Will you be playing the new Escape Mode DLC? Will you be waiting until September 1st when you can get Prison Architect for free as part of the September Games with Gold promotion?
