JetPack Joyride Racing is a new racing spinoff of Halfbrick\'s hit endless runner

Halfbrick Studios, a pioneer in early mobile gaming, is set to launch Jetpack Joyride Racing on mobile devices this June. This kart racing spinoff of the beloved endless runner, Jetpack Joyride, is scheduled for release on June 20th. Fans of the original game will be thrilled to know they can now race as iconic Halfbrick characters, including the protagonist Barry Steakfries, in themed karts as they vie for domination on the tracks.

For those eager to get a head start, Halfbrick Studios has opened signups for a closed beta. You can pre-register and join the closed beta by visiting the official Halfbrick Studios Discord, giving you an early opportunity to experience Jetpack Joyride Racing before its official release.

While Jetpack Joyride Racing maintains the casual, pick-up-and-play appeal of its predecessor, it also introduces deeper mechanical complexity to attract hardcore kart racers. One might question the transition from jetpacks to karts, wondering if the iconic jetpack theme could have been integrated into the racing format—perhaps by drifting corners in jetpacks while being contained within the track by barriers. However, this minor quibble does not detract from the excitement surrounding this new addition to the Jetpack Joyride series, which has been a staple of mobile gaming for years.
