Jetpack Joyride Racing Accelerates Onto Mobile This June
The beloved mobile universe of Jetpack Joyride is shifting gears with a brand new kart racing spinoff launching June 20th. Halfbrick Studios is inviting players to pre-register now for this high-octane mobile experience.
Beta Access and Key Features
A closed beta test will precede the official launch, with signups currently available through Halfbrick's official Discord channel. The game promises:
- A roster featuring Barry Steakfries and other iconic Halfbrick characters
- Themed karts packed with personality

Reinventing a Mobile Classic
While maintaining the series' signature charm, Jetpack Joyride Racing represents a bold new direction for the franchise. The transition from jetpacks to karts might surprise longtime fans, but Halfbrick aims to deliver an experience that balances nostalgic appeal with fresh gameplay.
The development team emphasizes maintaining the pick-up-and-play accessibility that made the original so beloved, while incorporating deeper racing mechanics to satisfy competitive players. This strategic evolution could potentially introduce the Jetpack Joyride universe to entirely new audiences.
What's Next for Halfbrick?
Beyond this exciting racing spinoff, fans should keep tabs on Halfbrick Plus - the studio's subscription gaming service that continues to expand its offerings. The success of Jetpack Joyride Racing could pave the way for more innovative reinventions of classic mobile IP.
