Your copy of The Jackbox Party Starter just got a bit more cultured. We’ve just launched a free update to all three games to include a Brazilian Portuguese language option. The Jackbox Party Pack 10 was our first foray into localizing content for the Brazilian market, and today we’re so excited to launch three more of our most popular titles in Portuguese!
Why did we do this? We want to make our games as accessible as possible to fans from all over the world. Our Brazilian fans have asked for more games available in Portuguese, and we are gladly obliging. Earlier this year we also launched social media profiles in Portuguese to better accommodate Brazilian audiences.
Will we update more of our back catalog to be available in other languages? Not at this moment. Creating these language patches is more than just running scripts through Google Translate and copying and pasting the results. It’s much, much more than that. We take all of the in-game content and hire localization experts in the region to emulate the irreverent tone that makes Jackbox so special. Then we hire local voice actors and adapt the game art, theme songs, and every other in-game detail to give fans a seamless experience in other languages. We also add in completely new content that’s geared for the region. For example, you’d likely see questions about Brazilian football teams rather than American football teams. All of this takes time to do, but we are always working to make our games available to fans around the world.
There are fifteen games available in French, Italian, German, Castilian Spanish and Latin American Spanish. Titles in bold are also available in Portuguese:
- The Jackbox Party Pack 9: Roomerang, Junktopia, Nonsensory, Fibbage 4
- The Jackbox Party Pack 10: Hypnotorious, Tee K.O. 2, Timejinx, Fixy Text, Dodo Re Mi

- Quiplash 2 InterLASHional
We have released these games across all major video game platforms. We hope you enjoy playing, and remember to follow us on social media:
