Halfbrick Studios, a pioneer in early mobile gaming, is set to launch Jetpack Joyride Racing on mobile devices this June. Known for the iconic endless runner Jetpack Joyride, which many of us fondly remember playing on demonstration iPads in Apple stores, Halfbrick is now expanding its universe into the kart racing genre.
Scheduled for release on June 20th, Jetpack Joyride Racing will let players take control of beloved Halfbrick characters, including protagonist Barry Steakfries, as they compete for dominance in themed karts. This exciting new spinoff aims to blend the casual, pick-up-and-play nature of mobile gaming with deeper mechanical complexity to appeal to hardcore kart racing enthusiasts.
For those eager to get an early taste, Halfbrick Studios has opened signups for a closed beta. You can pre-register and join the beta through the official Halfbrick Studios Discord server. This is your chance to experience Jetpack Joyride Racing ahead of its official release.
While the transition from jetpacks to karts might seem unexpected, Jetpack Joyride Racing promises to deliver a fun and engaging experience. The only question some might have is why the iconic jetpacks aren't part of the racing action, but this minor quibble doesn't detract from the overall excitement surrounding the game.
