Halfbrick Studios, a pioneer in early mobile gaming, is set to launch Jetpack Joyride Racing on mobile devices this June. Fans of the iconic endless runner Jetpack Joyride can now look forward to a thrilling kart racing spinoff featuring beloved characters like Barry Steakfries and other Halfbrick favorites, as they vie for supremacy on the racetrack.
Scheduled for release on June 20th, Jetpack Joyride Racing promises to blend the casual, pick-up-and-play appeal with deeper mechanical complexity, catering to both casual and hardcore kart racing enthusiasts. The game will offer themed karts and a variety of Halfbrick characters to choose from, ensuring a diverse racing experience.
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 joining the closed beta, head over to the official Halfbrick Studios Discord to sign up and stay ahead of the game.
While the transition from jetpacks to karts might raise eyebrows for some fans, Jetpack Joyride Racing aims to deliver a fun and engaging experience. The game's shift to kart racing introduces new dynamics to the series, although one might wonder if jetpacks could have been integrated into racing with track barriers to keep players in line.
