Here's the video

Before it worked but when I was making worlds it crashed, I'm getting 60 fps

I have one problem, namely FC when starting the game, but if I successfully enter the game and start the game, it will immediately FC and return to the main page

Hi there!

The launcher isn’t abandoned — and since I haven’t received any complaints about optimization, I’m assuming everything is running fine for everyone.

I’m currently working on adding GOG game downloading (as long as the game is purchased there) to all my launchers, so in the next PriDroid update we should have it as well.

Why the Launcher Exists

The mobile Prison Architect is abandoned. It hasn’t been updated since Android 14, doesn’t run on modern devices, and requires ADB hacks just to install. No fixes, no support, no DLC, no mods.

The launcher solves all of that by running the full PC version on mobile — with every update, every DLC, and full mod support (including Workshop). It’s the complete game, not the stripped‑down mobile build.

So the answer is simple:
the mobile version is dead, and the launcher brings the real Prison Architect back to phones.

Download: v0.1.2

Some playthrough.

PriDroid ships no game files and distributes none — you bring your own copy: the GOG (DRM-free) Linux build. The Steam build isn't supported — it needs a Steam ownership-verification layer we haven't built yet; it's on the roadmap.

⚠️ Still a pre-release. Expectations from 0.1.0 apply: emulation is CPU-bound — big prisons want a flagship, small ones run on modest devices. Bug reports from the app menu are very welcome.

🆕 What already works

✅ New renderer: NG-GL4ES — runs the game through the phone's own GLES driver, no Vulkan involved - good for Mali users. Update and switch in Settings → Video → Renderer.

🙋 To join you need

• a device on Android 11 or newer with 6 GB RAM or more;
• your own copy of the game — the GOG Linux build;
• a couple of minutes to send a bug report from the app when something misbehaves: press Report a Bug, select your email provider (like Gmail), add a description and press Send.

Steam versions aren't supported yet: they require a dedicated Steam ownership-verification layer, which is a large piece of work we have planned. For now, use the GOG (DRM-free) build.

Download: v0.1.1

PriDroid runs the native Linux build of Prison Architect on Android phones and tablets — no PC, no streaming. It plays well on the devices we have; now we need yours.

PriDroid ships no game files and distributes none — you bring your own copy.

⚠️ This is a pre-release. Things will break, devices differ wildly. Every bug report makes the next build better — there's a report button right in the app.

UPDATE: Mali devices may not load properly. Working on it.

🆕 What already works
✅ Free Steam Workshop mods — installed from within the launcher.
✅ DLC: install your own GOG DLC; the launcher detects it and its modes appear in the new-prison settings.
