About Prison Boss VR
First released in 2017, Prison Boss VR is a room-scale simulation and crafting game that puts players in the shoes of a prisoner who wants to make the most of their time in jail. Craft and sell to your fellow inmates contraband items like cigarettes, erotic letters, or even …warm and delicious cookies! With your hard-earned money, buy new supplies or furniture to pimp your cell and become more efficient! But, most importantly, be careful of the guards patrolling at night; they’ll confiscate any merchandise they see.

With the power of PlayStation VR 2, Prison Boss VR will offer players a whole new level of immersion. Sense the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers as you apply your ancestral savoir-faire, whether it’s in rolling cigarettes or turning a bottle into a hookah. Also, enjoy a more intuitive experience thanks to the eye-tracking for menu selection.

About Prison Boss: Prohibition
In Prison Boss: Prohibition, players are finally out of the hole and can have a fresh start in New Yolk City. They have the opportunity to manage small shops throughout the city to sell their legal… and not-so-legal merchandise. Here’s the thing: the Mayor of New Yolk is as shady as he is moody. Items become prohibited or not depending on his whims. Provide for the inhabitants to become more and more influential, and who knows? Your smuggling skills might just pave the way for a daring run to snatch the Mayor’s crown!

Prison Boss: Prohibition is currently in development, with no release window set at this time. The game will be available on Meta Quest, PlayStation VR 2, and Steam.
