The Jackbox Party Pack 9 release date

Today, Jackbox Games announced a final release date for The Jackbox Party Pack 9. We have confirmation that it will launch on October 20, 2022.

Speaking about the decision to wait so long for a release date, Jackbox Games explained: “It’s true that we usually release our new title around this time of year! In the time leading up to launch, we have to submit our game to all of the many platforms we’re available on. Until we pass the submission process, we’re unable to select a release date. Because we have a speedy annual release cycle, the time between submission and release is super quick! As soon as we can, we pick a date and share it with the world!”
