Jackbox Games Will Soon Be Playable On Smart TVs For Free
Jackbox Games has been around in multiple incarnations over the past three decades thanks to its addictive party games, including You Don't Know Jack. Now, Jackbox's library of gaming titles is making the leap to smart TVs, courtesy of the new Jackbox app.
Via Jackbox Games' official site, the company announced that the app is a result of a partnership with Amazon Web Services GameLift Streams, which will utilize the cloud to launch Jackbox's titles on smart TVs and other platforms.
While the announcement doesn't mention any specific titles that will be included, it does note that the Jackbox app "will offer a small collection of ad-supported games for free." The company indicated that it plans to eventually offer the full catalogue of Jackbox Games titles as a subscription service, but didn't offer any hints as to how much that would cost or when it might come to fruition. Jackbox also suggested that the app could be headed to additional platforms if it gets a favorable response.
