Halfbrick Studios, a pioneer in early mobile gaming, is set to delight fans with the release of Jetpack Joyride Racing on mobile devices this June 20th. Known for classics like Jetpack Joyride, which many of us fondly remember playing on demo iPads at Apple stores, Halfbrick is expanding the franchise into the kart racing genre.
In Jetpack Joyride Racing, players can take control of iconic Halfbrick characters, including the beloved protagonist Barry Steakfries, as they race for supremacy in themed karts. This exciting spinoff combines the casual, pick-up-and-play appeal that Halfbrick is known for, with deeper mechanical complexity to satisfy hardcore kart racing enthusiasts.
For those eager to get a head start, Halfbrick Studios has opened signups for a closed beta. Pre-registration is also available for the broader player base. If you're interested in testing Jetpack Joyride Racing before its official launch, be sure to check out the official Halfbrick Studios Discord for sign-up details.
Spinning off: While the shift from jetpacks to karts might raise some eyebrows—couldn't characters still drift corners with jetpacks and be contained by track barriers?—Jetpack Joyride Racing is shaping up to be a fun and intriguing addition to the series. This iconic franchise continues to be a staple in mobile gaming, and fans should keep an eye on Halfbrick Plus for more exciting releases on their subscription gaming service.
