Halfbrick Studios, a pioneer in early mobile gaming, is bringing the excitement of Jetpack Joyride to a new arena with Jetpack Joyride Racing, set to launch on mobile devices this June. Fans of the iconic endless runner can now look forward to a thrilling kart racing experience featuring beloved characters from the Halfbrick universe.
Scheduled for release on June 20th, Jetpack Joyride Racing lets players take control of protagonist Barry Steakfries and other familiar Halfbrick characters as they compete for supremacy in uniquely themed karts. This kart racing spinoff promises to blend the casual, easy-to-pick-up appeal that made the original game so popular with deeper mechanical complexities to satisfy even the most dedicated kart racing enthusiasts.
For those eager to get a head start, Halfbrick Studios has opened signups for a closed beta. If you're interested in experiencing Jetpack Joyride Racing before its official release, head over to the official Halfbrick Studios Discord to join the beta. Pre-registration is also available for the broader player base, ensuring you don't miss out on the action.
While the transition from jetpacks to karts might raise some eyebrows—after all, why not drift corners with jetpacks and use barriers to keep racers on track?—Jetpack Joyride Racing is poised to be a compelling addition to the franchise. It continues to celebrate the legacy of a series that has been a staple of mobile gaming for years.
