"JetPack Joyride Racing: Halfbrick's New Spinoff Hits the Track"

Apr 23,2025 Author: Peyton

Halfbrick Studios, a pioneer in early mobile gaming, is set to thrill fans once again with the upcoming release of Jetpack Joyride Racing on mobile devices this June. Remember those days at the Apple store, captivated by Jetpack Joyride on demonstration iPads? Now, the beloved endless runner is spinning off into a kart racing adventure!

Jetpack Joyride Racing is scheduled to hit mobile platforms on June 20th. This kart racing spinoff lets you take control of iconic Halfbrick characters, including the protagonist Barry Steakfries, as they compete for supremacy in uniquely themed karts.

Exciting news for eager fans: signups for the closed beta are now open! If you're keen to get a head start, head over to the official Halfbrick Studios Discord to register. Pre-registration is also available for the broader player base, ensuring everyone gets a chance to experience the game early.

While Jetpack Joyride Racing promises to blend casual, pick-up-and-play fun with deeper mechanical complexity to satisfy hardcore kart racers, there's a slight twist. Instead of the expected jetpack theme, characters will race in karts. Though one might wonder if jetpacks could be used to drift corners within a track bounded by barriers, this kart-focused approach adds a fresh dimension to the series.

Despite this minor quibble, Jetpack Joyride Racing is poised to be a delightful and engaging addition to the franchise that has been a mobile gaming staple for years. Keep an eye on Halfbrick Plus for more exciting developments from the studio's subscription gaming service.
