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 at the Apple store, Halfbrick is now expanding its universe into the kart racing genre.
Jetpack Joyride Racing is scheduled for release on June 20th. This kart racing spinoff features beloved Halfbrick characters, including protagonist Barry Steakfries, as they compete for supremacy in uniquely themed karts. The game aims to blend casual, easy-to-pick-up gameplay with deeper mechanics to satisfy both casual and 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 experiencing Jetpack Joyride Racing before its official release, head over to the official Halfbrick Studios Discord to sign up.
While the transition from jetpacks to karts might raise some eyebrows—after all, couldn't jetpacks still be used for drifting and racing within a track?—this spinoff promises to be a fun and engaging addition to the Jetpack Joyride series. Keep an eye on Halfbrick Plus for more updates and to see what other exciting titles are coming to their subscription gaming service.
