While there's no release date yet for the service, Jackbox Games is hoping to bring a beta version to "one or two smart TV platforms" in spring this year. More platforms and features will then follow.

I can't imagine it will be free and actually useable in any form.

Free*

*except you can only play one game in 24 hrs. *you can only play with four people *there is only a small set of prompts available

Actually, that part I'm not worried about. Jackbox is one of my friends go-to end of party games. It's all through your phone and accommodates a good amount of people, slightly game dependent.

Yeah, but thats for money.

It's also entirely possible that you can't host any of the games. If the host owns the game, anyone else can play for free through a browser. It could just be access to the jackbox.tv website from the TV itself.
