The Jackbox Survey Scramble | Announcement Trailer (EN)

Family Feud meets the internet in the newest Jackbox Games release. The developer of ridiculous party games announced The Jackbox Survey Scramble, a spinoff of just survey games coming this October.

The standalone title will have four game modes. All are about guessing survey answers, although it’s not always about figuring out which is the most popular. The Hilo mode lets you figure out the least and most popular answers, while speed mode is, as you can imagine, about guessing as fast as possible. You can rank answers in Squares mode, and, finally, get more competitive in the team-based Bounce mode, which has less to do with finding the best answers than finding the correct answers to block your enemies. Jackbox says in a press release that more modes will be added by the end of 2024 for free. There is also a family-friendly option in the settings to make it a little less… Jackbox for kids.

You can check it out ahead of release with a free demo available during Steam Next Fest, which starts on October 14. Survey Scramble will launch in the weeks after this demo event ends on PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation. It’s also available to wishlist on Steam.

Survey Scramble compiles its answers by constantly updating with survey answers from other players, so no play sessions will be similar.

This is just the latest game from Jackbox Games, which skipped a standard Party Pack launch this year. It decided instead to release Jackbox Naughty Pack on September 12, which featured M-rated versions of three Jackbox titles. It also delivered The Jackbox Megapickera free Steam launcher that corrals all your owned Party Packs into one place, making party nights where you have to choose a game much smoother.

Keeping track of every new video game release is a nearly impossible task. Ggames are constantly being announced, delayed, rereleased on new platforms, remastered, canceled — you get the point. With the upcoming games lineup constantly shifting on PC, Switch, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5 and mobile, it can be hard to find games to look forward to playing (and to budget for) in the coming months.

Despite the herculean task of tracking an entire year of video game release dates, we're giving it our best shot. Check out this month-by-month schedule of new video game releases. We're focusing mainly on highly anticipated titles with concrete release dates, but will also include little-known indies and keep an eye on launch plans for up-in-the-air titles like Grand Theft Auto 6 or games that are still very early on in development like Hogwarts Legacy 2 or The Last of Us Part 3. If you're looking to get a quick glance at the future of video games, this is the place. We'll keep this list updated and as accurate as possible at regular intervals.

The Nintendo Switch is one of the most popular consoles Nintendo has ever produced, with a wide variety of games to choose from and plenty of unique features. We’ve already gotten to play new entries across the Zelda, Super Mario, and Pokémon series on Nintendo Switch, but there are still plenty of great games on the way for the hybrid console. These include exclusive games developed internally by Nintendo, as well as third-party titles and ports of games that are also available on other platforms. Not all upcoming video games make their way to Switch, but plenty do!

Here's our list of the best upcoming Nintendo Switch games for 2024 and beyond. Of course, some titles without release windows could skip the Switch entirely and wind up on the Nintendo Switch 2 (or whatever it ends up being called). And if you're looking at future releases on multiple consoles, don't forget to check out what's upcoming on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC this year.
