Jack Box Party Packs 1 & 2 Packs Releasing On Switch August 17
Jackbox launched on Nintendo Switch in April with Party Pack 3, but Jackbox Games is now reaching back to bring the games from Party Packs 1 and 2 later this month.
Party Pack 1 includes the classic You Don't Know Jack game show, Fibbage XL, Drawful, Word Spud, and Lie Swatter. Pack 2 has Fibbage 2, Earwax, Bidiots, Quiplash XL, and Bomb Corp. Party Packs 1 and 2 are already available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
The gameplay in Jackbox games relies primarily on all participants using their phones to access a website and play together with the game on the screen connected to WiFi. Depending on the game, players answer, draw, or write in their choices.
Party Pack 4 is scheduled for release for all consoles and PC later this year.
Our Take
You Don't Know Jack alone is worth the price of the party packs, though Fibbage may be the best actual game.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
