Are you looking for ways to connect with a friend in a different city? Are you tired of only talking to your pet all day? Want to replace that weekly call home with The Jackbox Party Pack 9?
Congrats! You’ve found the perfect blog post. Jackbox Games are local multiplayer games, but with a few extra steps, it’s easy to get a game started with others in remote locations.
If you’re unfamiliar with our games, our general How To Play page is a great place to learn how to start a room and connect players to a game. After you’ve checked that out, hop on back to this page!
Playing with Friends and Family
If you feel confident about your internet connections, just jump onto a videoconferencing service (like Zoom, Discord, or Google Meet). Start a game on your laptop and use the screen-sharing option so that your players can see the game. Everyone can play along on their own mobile devices by using a browser and going to Jackbox.tv. If you’re having difficulty getting back to your video conferencing screen from the game’s full-screen mode, go to the settings in the main lobby and turn off “Full Screen Mode.”
If you’re a Steam fan, you can skip the videoconferencing step and use Steam Remote Play Together. This feature allows you to share your local co-op games online with friends. Using Remote Play Together, only one person needs to own a copy of a Jackbox Games title. Up to four players (or more with faster internet connections) can join.
Discord screen sharing can also be a great option if you’re playing on a laptop. You and up to nine of your Discord friends can connect and have both the game and video-enabled. You’ll want to see your friends’ faces when they’re laughing at your responses in Tee K.O. 2.
Some consoles also have screen share or co-stream abilities as long as you’re playing with someone who also owns that platform. Instead of streaming, many people have set up an additional webcam in front of their TV as an easier option.
You can stream using many different platforms, but we generally recommend using a PC to stream over a video conferencing service such as Zoom or Discord.

In this new episode, we discuss two big moments for us from last summer - the Old Camp trailer and our secret Nyras Demo from Gamescom. We also have new guests from our team on the podcast:
Daniel Candil, our Art Director
Joan Planelles, our Cinematics Designer
Timur Khodyrev, known as "T-Moor", our Community Manager
They introduce themselves, explain what they do at Alkimia Interactive, and of course at the end of the episode we answer some questions from the community!
New episode on YouTube with English and German subtitles!*
As part of the tinyBuild winter sale, Deadside and all DLC are now 60% off! This is the biggest sale of the year, so if you have been looking at our game and its recent updates, now is the perfect time to try it out!
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank you all for a wonderful year. This year had its fair share of both technical and real world challenges, and despite that, we were able to implement many new and important features. This year saw the introduction of our first vehicles, our first large land animals, an entire fishing system, a huge city, new guns, and the list goes on. All of this is possible because of the support of our community, and we really do appreciate the opportunity you have given us to create a wonderful game. There is lots to be done still, so we hope you are just as excited as us for 2024!
Special thanks to the private test group, for all of the effort you put in to hunt down bugs in your freetime, as well as everyone who has participated in our public tests this year, it really does help. And of course, a huge thanks to our volunteer staff in the Official Deadside Discord, you guys do so much to make this community a better place, so a huge thanks to all of you from the team at Bad Pixel.

As usual, there are still ocassional issues with how Steam updates the game. If you consistently crash on a specific Operation, map or unit after the update - try re-verifying the files: right-click on the Regiments in your Steam library -> Properties -> Local Files -> Verify integrity of the game files
- Added a new DDR Task Force "Kerze" with a company of BMP-1s: it bumps East German KdA Regiment to the correct amount of TFs and also replaces one of the overused Task Forces in MSR 9 - Added US M113-TOW Self-Propelled ATGM (currently uses Canadian extra equipment, will be adjusted later) - Added AIFV-Milan (it was in Regipedia, but wasn't present anywhere). According to the research, it seems to have been used in a light tank-destroyer role, so that's the way it is represented - AIFV-Milan replaced platoons in TFs "Leer" and "Pistool" - Revised US 4-4th ID: removed M577 & Rally TA, downgraded ITV to M113-TOW, M3A2 to M3 - this brings it more in line with the amount of deployment points and capabilities other Regiments can deploy at the start - Revised Belgian 17th Panzer: removed Recce+Milan platoon on Spartan. Same reasoning as above - Standartized the naming of platoons with dedicated MANPADS - West German taskforces "Antwort" and "Sonne" received a new TacAid - an F-4 airstrike with 4xCluster bombs - FV102 set to use Thermals (which should've arrived by 1989), FV438 downgraded to Basic night vision
- Heavy machine guns (12.7mm and above) received increased damage and range, medium machine guns (7.62mm) received 1 AP; low-AP penetration tables were revised so that lightly armored units don't take an eternity to destroy with machinegun fire - Assault engineer squads were reduced to 6 soldiers per squad and standartized to use "worse" LAWs where applicable, so they aren't a solution to every problem - LAW stats were revised to be slightly more in-line with reality: generally minor, with the exception of Carl Gustav going from 22 to 19 AP - Slightly buffed cluster bomb damage; reduced 2xBomb TA price to 30 pts
- US HMMWV and M109A3 models now feature randomized clutter - West German vehicle models received authentic decals with the identification plates and weight class indicators. It is an exploratory feature to check the workflow - there's no certainty if all nations will receive something like that - Fixed inconsistencies with AIFV-B series scale - Regipedia unit list made more readable - Post-battle screen will now display map or stage name. In Skirmish, it will also display the player's Regiment name - Company label now lists the total amount of soldiers in company, not just the leader platoon (status panel can still be used to check per-platoon counts)
- Last stage of the first Operation can now end early properly if you capture all the VP objectives - Fixed a bug that limited the rate of fire in big platoons - Fixed a bug that prevented mechanized infantry platoons from closing to LAW range under Attack or Attack Move command - Fixed AI not dismounting MANPADS platoons until very close to target - Minor tweaks to the projectile hit effects - Fixed cases where AI wasn't using some specific Air and Artillery Strike TacAids - Credits button has been moved to the left bottom corner of the menu
