Jackbox Naughty Pack is about to make its games a whole lot dirtier

Jackbox games can already be a bit naughty depending on your friend group, but if you ever wanted it to somehow be even more risqué, the previously announced Jackbox Naughty Pack now has a release window for September 2024.

We also now know it’ll have at least three games, with each supporting three to eight players. Most of the games in the pack are repurposed from other more “wholesome” games in Jackbox’s catalog, with the presentation game Let Me Finish being the exception. While Jackbox’s other presentation game, Talking Points, has players give a presentation on slides they’ve never seen before, Let Me Finish has people relay their opinions on specific prompts. The developer doesn’t specify how you win Let Me Finish, but we assume whoever gets the most votes on their maybe ridiculous opinions gets bragging rights at the party.

The other two are announced games are naughty versions of other Jackbox titles. First up is Fakin’ It All Night Long, which is just like Fakin’ It from Jackbox Party Pack 3. Everybody gets one task, except for the Faker, who gets another. Then the non-Fakers have to guess who’s the odd person out. Besides some more mature categories, All Night Long introduces a remote play mode, so you can finally play it online instead of just in person.

Fakin’ It hasn’t shown up in any packs since the third one, so it’ll at least introduce some new categories for fans of the original.

The other game is Dirty Drawful, which, as you can imagine, is a dirty version of the Pictionary-inspired Drawful. While you can make Drawful as dirty as you want, Jackbox ensured there were some risqué prompts that’ll keep you on theme.

The M-rated pack will cost $21.69 (heh) on Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch, and is now available to wish list on Steam. The company also recently released the free Jackbox Megapicker on Steam this week, which is a launcher that puts all your Party Packs in one place. However, it’s important to note that the Megapicker has been corrupting Steam Decks.

The Last of Us developer Naughty Dog has confirmed that it's working on a new single-player game in a fairly odd manner. The news came in the middle of an apologetic post explaining why the studio didn't show its upcoming Last of Us multiplayer project during this week's PlayStation Showcase.

This console generation isn’t about games or hardware. It’s about services

It’s been over two years since the start of the current console generation, which launched with a rocky start at the end of 2020. You'd think it's been more than long enough to understand what it's all about, but for many, there's still confusion. That might be changing this year. As Tomas Franzese wrote earlier this month, 2023 could be the year where we finally see what games define this generation’s consoles, at least in terms of exclusives. He also noted that games could stop being cross-platform, launching on just current-gen consoles instead of simultaneously on last-gen ones.

While that'll finally give us some memorable games, it doesn't bring us closer to defining the hardware itself. Besides a few extra teraflops and new ultra-fast SSDs, there isn’t much that helps the PS5 and Xbox Series X and S stand out from their predecessors. Sure, the PS5 looks like a giant spaceship, and the Xbox Series X is built like a fridge, but we didn’t know what these devices could offer that the PS4 and Xbox One couldn’t besides some pretty lighting effects and virtually non-existent loading times.

The Jackbox Party Pack 9 features two ingenious party games you need to try

The Jackbox Party Pack series went from a fun party series to an institution almost overnight. Before 2020, it was a fun collection of minigames that worked wonders as a social icebreaker. It became a much bigger phenomenon in the isolation phase of the COVID-19 pandemic though, as it proved it could keep friends, family, and co-workers united even from afar. Jackbox Games has only pushed the momentum since then, pumping out annual installments full of comedic potential. Like clockwork, The Jackbox Party Pack 9 continues that streak.
