Halfbrick Launches Jetpack Joyride Racing

• Jetpack Joyride Racing is scheduled to launch on mobile devices this June.
• Registrations for the closed beta are currently open.
• Hop into karts and take control of iconic Halfbrick characters as you compete for racing supremacy.

When it comes to defining early mobile game developers, Halfbrick Studios undoubtedly ranks among the top. After all, many younger players fondly remember spending hours at Apple stores, engrossed in Jetpack Joyride on demo iPads. It's no surprise, then, that the franchise has spawned numerous spin-offs, including the latest addition—a kart racing game.

Jetpack Joyride Racing is set to release on June 20th and, as anticipated, is a kart racing spin-off based on Halfbrick Studios' hit endless runner. Players can select protagonist Barry Steakfries or other beloved Halfbrick characters as they vie for dominance in themed karts.

Halfbrick Studios has also announced that sign-ups for the closed beta are now available, with pre-registration open to the wider player community. If you're eager to experience Jetpack Joyride Racing ahead of its official launch, head over to the official Halfbrick Studios Discord server to register.

Jetpack Joyride Racing aims to combine casual, pick-up-and-play accessibility with deeper mechanics to appeal to serious kart racing enthusiasts. One curious aspect, however, is the decision to place these iconic characters in karts rather than retaining the jetpack theme. Wouldn't it be possible to drift around corners using jetpacks, confined to the track by some form of barrier?

Nevertheless, aside from that minor point, Jetpack Joyride Racing looks set to be an exciting and engaging addition to a series that has become a mobile gaming icon over the years. Keep an eye on Halfbrick Plus to stay updated on other titles joining the studios' subscription gaming service.
