Prison Architect, a private prison construction and management simulation video game developed by Introversion Software, will become a free game for the Nintendo Switch for a limited time as announced by Nintendo of Europe.
The game is being offered up as part of the Game Trial service that lets Switch Online subscribers download and play a full game for a limited time. People won’t have to worry about only playing a small section of the game or playing for a set number of hours like how PlayStation handles their Game Trials service. Switch Online subscribers will be able to play the full game and even beat it so long as it is within the free period.
The Prison Architect Game Trial offer will be available to download now so players in the region will be able to play instantly the game starting from October 20 until the 26th in Europe.
Currently, there is no news of any game trial in other regions but those in North America will be able to play The Jackbox Party Pack 6 for free later today.
