Jackbox Games to Launch Smart TV App with Cloud Streaming

The app will debut in beta this spring, offering a small selection of free, ad-supported games with plans for a subscription-based full catalog in the future.

  • Jackbox Games is partnering with Amazon to release a dedicated smart TV app using AWS GameLift Streams for cloud gaming.
  • The app will initially launch in beta on one or two smart TV platforms in spring 2025, with plans to expand to additional platforms later.
  • At launch, a limited selection of games will be available for free, supported by ads, as a preview of the full experience.
  • Jackbox aims to eventually include its entire catalog of 53 games via a subscription model, offering an ad-free experience.
  • The new app eliminates the need for a console or PC, allowing users to play Jackbox's popular Party Packs directly on their smart TVs.
