Halfbrick Studios, a pioneering name in early mobile gaming, is bringing the excitement of Jetpack Joyride to the racing genre with Jetpack Joyride Racing, set to launch on mobile devices on June 20th. This kart racing spinoff of the beloved endless runner game lets players jump into the driver's seat of themed karts as iconic Halfbrick characters, including the fan-favorite protagonist Barry Steakfries, race for supremacy.
For those eager to experience Jetpack Joyride Racing before its official release, Halfbrick Studios has opened signups for a closed beta. Interested players can pre-register and join the closed beta through the official Halfbrick Studios Discord. This is your chance to get ahead of the pack and dive into the action early.
While the transition from jetpacks to karts might raise an eyebrow or two—after all, why not drift corners with jetpacks and use track barriers to keep racers in line?—Jetpack Joyride Racing is poised to deliver a blend of casual fun and deeper mechanical complexity that will appeal to both casual players and hardcore kart racing enthusiasts alike.
As we anticipate the release of Jetpack Joyride Racing, keep an eye on Halfbrick Plus, the studio's subscription gaming service, for more exciting developments.
