Jackbox Finally Announces a Free 'Megapicker' to Unify All its Games

ign.com:

WIth over 50 party games split between developer Jackbox Games' 10 different Jackbox Party Packs, players have increasingly requested a more unified way to switch between their Jackbox games. If these games are in different packs, players often need to remember which pack a game is in, close their current pack, and launch the next one. Now, after years of player requests, Jackbox Games is finally developing a way to see all of its games in one place.

Today in a post on its website, Jackbox Games announced the Jackbox Megapicker, a game library that lets players view, sort, and launch their games from different Party Packs in one location.

"With over 50 games, more and more you are saying that it takes a lot of effort to switch between packs to find all of the different games you want to play," the post reads. "Enter The Jackbox Megapicker: a free product exclusive to Steam, where you can view your game library, sort and filter the games you love, and quickly launch an evening of fun."

The Jackbox Megapicker is headed to Steam as an exclusive this July.

Jackbox Games mentioned that more details will be revealed on its website and in an upcoming Reddit AMA. The team also encouraged players to request features for the Jackbox Megapicker via social media.

Years after the first Party Pack was released in 2014, Jackbox Games saw a spike in popularity after its party games became a social distancing staple in 2020. Jackbox's next Party Pack is Jackbox: Naughty Pack, its first adult-focused Party Pack (despite most people's use of... already naughty answers in text-based games like Quiplash) that it announced at ID@Xbox in April. While it doesn't yet have a release date, it's due out this year.
