What your Mac needs
Steam requirements list at least 6 GB of memory for Prison Architect.
Allow about 0.4 GB of disk space for the Mac version.
How to play
Open Steam for Mac and install Prison Architect as usual.
If the Mac version will not start, you can install the Windows version through Uncork: download Uncork, sign in to Steam and install Prison Architect from there (0.4 GB). We have not tested it ourselves.
The Windows version through Uncork needs a Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer).
