The Undead expansion for Prison Architect is now live on all platforms. But those who do not want to spend money can still enjoy the game, thanks to the free Kickstand Update launched alongside it.

The Kickstand Update brought new content that will keep players occupied for some time. Those who love dogs will find two lovable canines in the form of a little corgi and a Siberian Husky.

Players who like to design their own prisons using premade assets in Prison Architect will be busy at work with the three new Quickrooms added in this patch, namely Security, Kennel, and Parole.

In addition, developer Double Eleven introduces the new Empty Room that can be used to help section prisons into different sectors - all without the need to wall everything off. This is one of the most highly requested features, so it is nice to see that it has finally been added to Prison Architect.

This free patch brought a ton of improvements and bug fixes. Here are some of them:
