You'll soon be able to play a selection of Jackbox Games on your Smart TV for free.

While there’s no release date yet for the service, Jackbox Games is hoping to bring a beta version to “one or two smart TV platforms” in spring this year. More platforms and features will then follow.

I can’t imagine it will be free and actually useable in any form.

Free*

*except you can only play one game in 24 hrs. *you can only play with four people *there is only a small set of prompts available

It’s also entirely possible that you can’t host any of the games. If the host owns the game, anyone else can play for free through a browser. It could just be access to the jackbox.tv website from the TV itself.

Actually, that part I’m not worried about. Jackbox is one of my friends go-to end of party games. It’s all through your phone and accommodates a good amount of people, slightly game dependent.
