Long story short: We would LOVE to localize all of our games for all the different languages and cultures across the globe, but we’re a small game studio and we don't have the resources to do that.
Long story long: We get a lot of localization and translation requests from people all around the world, so we know how much this means to our non-English-speaking fans. We want to deliver translated versions of our games, but ideally these versions wouldn’t just be translated – they would be fully localized. I mean, what good is a question about an American football team translated into German?
Because we’re a company that makes humorous party games and invests heavily in having a certain sense of humor, that means finding comedic writers who can skillfully create new content specific to each language and culture. We are still a small company and we are focused on making 5 new games each year, so we don't have the bandwidth to do that right now.
That being said, we are actively in some level of discussions with potential partners to hopefully bring our games to additional new markets someday; but have nothing to announce at the moment. Please follow us on social media such as Twitter, where you will be among the first to see those announcements if they are made.
We can, however, recommend The Jackbox Party Pack 10, The Jackbox Party Pack 9, The Jackbox Party Starter, and Quiplash 2 InterLASHional edition! These are games with prompts in French, Italian, German, and Spanish in addition to English! This is available on PC/Mac/Linux Steam, Xbox One (as well as on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S with backwards compatibility) , Playstation 4 (as well as on Playstation 5 with backwards compatibility), and Nintendo Switch. Also, the International edition of Drawful 2 is free and adds French, Italian, German, and Castilian Spanish for players on Steam, Switch, PlayStation, and XBox!
The Jackbox Party Pack 10 and The Jackbox Party Starter are our first games available in Brazilian Portuguese. The Jackbox Naughty Pack and The Jackbox Survey Scramble offers gameplay in French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese in addition to English!
