Pro Jank Footy Wiki - FAQ
Do I need to know Australian Rules Football to play?
No -- the developers have explicitly said this isn't necessary, and have even suggested newcomers to the real sport may enjoy the chaos more, since the game deliberately reimagines and exaggerates the rules rather than simulating them accurately.
How does the core power-up mechanic work?
Whenever a goal is scored, the opposing team gets to pick a game-changing power-up from a deck of over 150 options -- ranging from doubling team size to transforming every player into a football.
What game modes are there?
Versus Mode (couch co-op, online, or solo vs. AI) is the primary chaotic experience. Season Mode adds deck-building progression across a full season. "Normal Footy" mode removes power-ups entirely for straightforward arcade play.
Who's involved creatively?
Creative director David Ashby and Dario Russo (both from the cult series Danger 5) drive the humor, Broden Kelly of comedy troupe Aunty Donna provides in-game commentary, and acclaimed animator Michael Cusack (Koala Man, Smiling Friends) created the release trailer through his own studio.
Is there a free demo?
Yes -- it's been available since Steam Next Fest in February-March 2026, and has drawn real coverage including from the popular YouTube channel Game Grumps.
What platforms is it launching on?
PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2, all on August 12, 2026.
