Nice, I've always been interested in it but never pulled the trigger.

Cool.
Been meaning to check this out on PC for a while. For folk who have played: How free form is this? Maybe I just don't remember the tycoon games well enough, but I tried to get in to Prison Architect last year and got frustrated by the game having very clearly defined build orders that tended to encourage fairly standard prison layouts. The first run or two was fun, but it felt like I was being punished (sometimes severely) for diverging from one of the correct paths.

Might want to add this to the OP:

Very happy to hear this. I don't play on PC so I was hoping this would come to consoles. Day 1 purchase for me.
Is there a particular reason why? I kinda figured civ would be a nightmare on switch originally but it ended up being super fun, so I'm curious if there's something here in particular that would make it not work

Yeah, I'll be down for the Switch version. I played this obsessively on PC when it first came out, but the chance to play it portably is just too strong a draw.

I'm being pedantic, but a game only coming to XBO/PS4 or PS4/Switch would also be "coming to consoles;" just saying consoles doesn't necessarily imply all 3. Again though, I'm just being pedantic, so it's probably not necessary.
In for the Switch version. Playing it with my friend who works in a real hospital is going to be fun.
The game is easy enough that you can build whatever you want to build, generally. If you create narrow corridors or have patients travel too far though then you will get punished, though.
With all these types of games though there are optimum setups and if you want to get the highest level hospital then you'll need to follow a loose set of guidelines and micromanage your staff. Generally the idea is that you'll need diagnosis rooms to be in the same general, central location with treatment rooms spread around the periphery. Pair with with specialized staff. Room size at a minimum but with items to raise the aesthetics. So yeah, there are standards. But you can ignore most of them early on and if you aren't going for 3 stars in every hospital then it doesn't matter that much.
The game is fantastic though. It's the best "wacky hospital" sim out there. Project Hospital is good too, but for different reasons.
Great news, such an awesome game. I loved Theme Hospital back in the day and this is very much the sequel we never got, highly recommend if you were a fan.
It's hell of a game, keep your eye on it console folk! Rather relaxing gaming, atleast for me.
For me it's Theme Hospital with improvements. I don't think there's anything that would make it worse.

Funny, played it last week at a friend's home and said to him I would love play this on my PS4. I kinda hoped it would release to consoles, but never expected it would be announced this week xD
There is a sandbox mode however I think it requires that you go through the campaign to unlock the diseases in the sandbox mode. Don't quote me on this as the game had had a lot of updates and it might have changed.
Unless prison architect on console is different the PC version doesn't encourage any build with the exception off:
- need to have kitchen
- Without work, your money income is slow.
- without meeting prisoners needs it requires heavy police force to supress the prisoners
Awesome news. The PC version actually had very rudimentary controller support from the beginning, so I always assumed a console port was coming. The Switch version could be amazing if they include touch controls. The game runs on Unity though, so I'm worried about performance.
As long as performance is decent I will be getting it on Switch...
...man, most of my favourite indie and low/mid-budget PC games are/will be on this portable console (I've already got Slay The Spire, Halcyon 6 and Wargroove, still need to get Transistor, Chroma Squad, Project Highrise and potentially this), I might actually stop lugging my laptop around to play these gems on the move!

Uuufff, I just went to "what is this game even??" To "damn, my wallet is reaching critical empty levels"
I really need to get around to playing this. I used to love Theme Hospital back in the day and I actually work in a hospital, so the interest is even higher. The price point of the PC version just didn't agree with me personally.
Be sure to keep an eye on Project Hospital if you're an medical industry vet. Two COMPLETELY different experiences. 2 Point being quirky & funny, Project being hyper-authentic & serious.
Both titles are home runs in their respective lanes.
