The Jackbox Megapicker will give Steam players one launcher to rule them all
thesixthaxis.comJackbox Games has announced The Jackbox Megapicker for Steam, giving PC players a single unified game launcher across all the Jackbox Party Packs when it launches in July 2024.
It’s one launcher to rule them all, one launcher to find them, one launcher to bring them all and in the party bind them!
The team said:
“Over the past ten years, we have been lucky enough to have created a ton of games and become part of your life. We have helped entertain your friends and family when you wanted to break the ice, laugh, or for those nights when you just wanted to stop your weird uncle from talking. (We aren’t going to name names, but you know who we’re talking about.)
“However, 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. In fact, here are some of the things we’ve heard directly from our players through social media, customer feedback surveys, and through hand-written pleas.”
More specifics will be revealed prior to its launch, but The Jackbox Megapicker will let you view all of the minigames from any of the party packs that you own and launch into them much more quickly, taking the hassle out of remembering which pack had which games and jumping between them.
Really the only downside to the announcement is that The Jackbox Megapicker is only coming to Steam right now, so if you’ve diligently built up your collection on consoles, you’re out of luck.
This isn’t the only PC-first love that Jackbox has dished out, with the Trivia Murder Party 2 free content update in May also a Steam exclusive.
Earlier this year, Jackbox announced The Jackbox Naughty Pack, deliberately filthing up the party game antics with a smaller three-game pack. Of course, players have been able to get rather filthy of their own volition in the past, but now Jackbox themselves are getting into the action. After 10 years of trying to be more family friendly, it seems they’re letting their hair down a bit!
