There are five on offer and it’s easier to go through them game by game but, as expected, you’ve got a mix of quiz games (which hark back to their previous You Don’t Know Jack series) and ones where you get to draw or create things. It also means that players don’t have to be co-located, making a Jackbox party a lot more accessible during these COVID times.Īs ever, this is a collection of mini-games. This of course means that you can have way more players and you can even get an audience going via Twitch or YouTube. Instead, one player hosts (on their PS4) and then they and everyone else plays on a mobile device, via the website. There won’t be four of you on DualShocks, controlling the action. If you don’t know the basic concept behind these games, they aren’t really traditional party games.

As ever, the Chicago natives Jackbox Games are behind this latest release in a series that has now seen eight main series releases since 2014, as well as a handful of standalone efforts too. We’ve said it before but the Jackbox games are easily the best party games out there (at least until Hidden in Plain Sight gets ported to modern consoles) and here at PlayStation Country, it’s been a mainstay of all of our online and in-person meet ups.
