Jackbox Games announced Fakin’ It XL, a standalone expanded version of its party game, launching November 12 for $8.99 on PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Nintendo Switch versions will follow later this year.

The original Fakin’ It has hosted more than 50 million games in the past three years, according to the studio. Fakin’ It XL adds new question types, including Emojional Damage—where players phrase answers as emojis while the faker only knows the category—and Thumb Luck, a rapid-fire opinion voting round where the faker must guess without knowing the prompt.

The expanded version supports up to eight players, double the original’s capacity, and includes enhanced remote play options that let your avatar act for you during video calls. New avatar choices are also included.

Fakin’ It XL will ship bundled with other upcoming Jackbox titles. The Jackbox Backpack Bundle on Steam includes Fakin’ It XL, Trivia Murder Party 3, and The Jackbox Party Pack 12 for $46.95. The Jackbox Holiday Bundle on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox bundles Fakin’ It XL with The Jackbox Party Pack 12 for $34.69.
