JetPack Joyride Racing: Halfbrick's New Spinoff Game

Halfbrick Studios, a stalwart in the early mobile gaming scene, is gearing up to launch Jetpack Joyride Racing on mobile devices this June. Best known for the beloved endless runner Jetpack Joyride, which many of us fondly remember playing on demo iPads at Apple stores, Halfbrick is now expanding its universe with a kart racing spinoff.

Set for release on June 20th, Jetpack Joyride Racing allows players to take control of iconic Halfbrick characters, including the protagonist Barry Steakfries, as they race for dominance in uniquely themed karts. The game aims to blend casual, pick-up-and-play fun with deeper mechanical complexity, appealing to both casual players and hardcore kart racing enthusiasts.

For those eager to get a head start, signups for the closed beta are currently open. If you're interested in trying Jetpack Joyride Racing before its official launch, head over to the official Halfbrick Studios Discord to register. Additionally, pre-registration is now available for the broader player base, ensuring you don't miss out on the action.

While the transition from jetpacks to karts might raise an eyebrow or two—couldn't we still drift corners with jetpacks, perhaps kept on track by some sort of barrier?—this spinoff promises to be a delightful addition to the Jetpack Joyride franchise. It's a testament to the enduring appeal of Halfbrick's creations in the mobile gaming landscape.
