Jackbox Games is Coming to Your Smart TV… for free.

Calm down. There’s ads. 

For over a decade, Jackbox Games has been making party games to bring you and your friends closer together – or in the case of Bomb Corp, drive you further apart. 

It has always been our goal to bring these games to as many people as possible and make them as easy to play as we can. That is why we are announcing a new Jackbox app that will allow you to play Jackbox Games on your smart TV and other platforms.

How can we pull off such a technical miracle? The same way anyone does anything these days: The Cloud! Partnering with AWS GameLift Streams allows us to quickly launch and stream games to all sorts of devices from smart TVs to web applications to… I don’t know… a watch, probably. But let’s not. Gathering around your watch for a game of Fibbage is super-dumb. 

The initial version of this service will offer a small collection of ad-supported games for free, but as the service matures, we intend to also offer our entire catalog of games for a subscription fee. We’re hoping to bring a beta version of this service to one or two smart TV platforms in the Spring of 2025, with more platforms and features to follow if y’all like it. 

(We hope you like it!)
