Jackbox Games has released Fakin’ It XL today, November 12, 2026, as a standalone enhanced version of its party game. It is priced at $8.99 on PC (Steam), PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 1 and 2.

The game builds on the breakout hit first featured in The Jackbox Party Pack 3. Each round, every player gets the same prompt on their phone or device, except the faker, who has to act as if they received the same prompt as everyone else. The faker blends in by bluffing and deflecting through three rounds of interrogation to rack up points.

New question types and up to eight players

According to the studio, the update adds two new question types. Emojinal Damage asks players to answer with an emoji, while the faker only gets a general category to work from. Thumb Luck has everyone vote thumbs up or down on a run of three opinion-based items, and the faker has to pick a side without knowing the subject.

Fakin’ It XL also supports up to eight players in one game, up from the earlier limit. The studio says enhanced remote play options let a player’s avatar act for them, so the game works over a video call as well as in the same room.

Limited-time bundles are also available. The Jackbox Backpack Bundle costs $46.96 on Steam and includes Fakin’ It XL, The Jackbox Party Pack 12 and Trivia Murder Party 3 (Early Access). The Jackbox Holiday Bundle costs $34.69 and includes Fakin’ It XL and The Jackbox Party Pack 12. It is available on PlayStation and Xbox today and on Nintendo Switch 1 and 2 on November 17.
