Halfbrick Sports: Football Launches to Boost Subscription Service

Ah, the beautiful game of football. If you're not directly invested in every match, it can sometimes feel like a bit of a slog. But not so in Halfbrick Sports: Football, which brings the action to the palm of your hand in fast-paced, furious 3v3 matches!

Launching on March 20th for iOS and Android, Halfbrick Sports: Football promises an exhilarating alternative to the more slow-paced, granular football simulations out there. It boldly strips away certain rules such as referees and even goalkeepers, focusing purely on the strikers and who can sprint down the pitch the fastest.

You'll have the chance to customize your own footballer and dive into matches against friends, competing in 3v3 games either privately or with others. Coming from Halfbrick, the creators behind the iconic Jetpack Joyride, it's no surprise that this game offers a fast-paced, action-packed twist on the beloved sport. However, there's a catch to all this exciting action—it's exclusive to Halfbrick+.

What's Halfbrick+? You might recall our previous coverage of Halfbrick+ when it brought back the fan-favorite Steppy Pants. This subscription service operates similarly to Netflix Games, providing access to a wide variety of titles for the price of a monthly subscription.

This exclusivity to Halfbrick+ is a key factor that could influence whether Halfbrick Sports: Football kicks off successfully. Halfbrick certainly has a pedigree, having developed mobile classics like Fruit Ninja; yet, the question remains whether there's a strong enough fanbase willing to subscribe just to play this game.

That said, this doesn't detract from the potential quality of this upcoming release. If you're looking for other ways to get your sports fix, be sure to check out our list of the top sports games available on iOS and Android.
