    Jackbox’s “Megapicker” for PC comes out next week.

    The free launcher, announced last month, will let you access Jackbox games you own from one place instead of having to hunt around through individual party packs.

    You can wishlist the Megapicker on Steam right now ahead of its release on July 29th. It won’t have controller support at launch, but that should follow “pretty quickly after,” according to a developer AMA.

    The Veilguard is set to release this fall. More launch details are coming “later this summer,” BioWare says.
