Fakin’ It Now Separates Itself From The (Party) Pack
Your no-foolin’ friends at Jackbox Games have returned with Fakin’ It XL, a standalone, enhanced release of one of Jackbox’s all-time most popular games, sporting new content, modes, and quality-of-life updates to make its laugh-out-loud fun more approachable than ever. Enjoy Fakin’ It XL’s lightheartedly mischievous contest of pulling one over on your fellow players today, available on PC (Steam), PlayStation 4 & 5, XBOX Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 1 & 2 for $8.99.
You Gotta Fake It To Make It
Building on the breakout hit originally featured in The Jackbox Party Pack 3, Fakin’ It XL is all about lying your way to victory. Each round presents a simple prompt to all players on their phone or device, like “raise your hand if you’ve ever pretended to like a gift you hated.” Everyone is on the same page – except for the faker, who must act as if they’ve received the same prompt as everyone else. Blend in by bluffing, grilling, and deflecting through three rounds of interrogation to rack up points. Who knew that casting suspicion on others could be so personally rewarding?
But Wait! There’s More!
Save money with limited-time bundles on a quintessential, new content-packin’ party classic that’s hosted 50 million+ games in the last three years alone.

Fakin’ It XL Features:
- Enhanced Remote Play: New options let your avatar take action for you, so the game works just as well on a video call as it does in your living room.
- New Hijinks-fueling Questions: Emojinal Damage and Thumb Luck mix things up alongside classic Fakin’ It question types for maximum friend-deceiving scheming:
- Emojional Damage challenges players to phrase their answers in the form of an emoji, such as “the emoji for a perfect gift for your boss”, while the Faker only has a general category, like “the emoji of an object.” Now, can the Faker explain why giving their boss a shoe is a great idea?
- Thumb Luck asks everyone to weigh in with a quick thumbs up or down on three opinion-worthy items in a row, like “Working from Home” or “Dogs in Costumes”. The Faker has to choose without knowing the subject, though—can they justify their support for “Singing Along With Musicals”?
- XL-sized Parties: Now up to eight players can join the same game, making for the rowdiest Fakin’ It sessions ever. Good thing there’s plenty of new avatar choices for everyone to choose from, too.
