‘Jetpack Joyride 2’ launches as an Apple Arcade exclusive


It took more than a decade, but finally a sequel to Jetpack Joyride – if not for everyone. Halfbrick Studios has release Jetpack Joyride 2 as an Apple Arcade exclusive for iPad, iPhone, Mac and Apple TV. Sorry, Android fans. The endless gameplay revolves around more “story-driven” gameplay with a new character to play (Betty Beefpies) as well as new mechanics and more detailed graphics. In that light, Halfbrick is effectively dragging the game into the modern era.

Original title come to Apple Arcade last year like Jetpack Joyride +, maintaining the core experience without the need (or ability) of in-app purchases. The title first came in 2011 and helped define the category of endless runners along with classics like Canabalt and Temple Run. Halfbrick’s featured game has hit more than 500 million downloads in the years since.

JJ2 probably wouldn’t justify $50 per year ($5 per month) for Apple Arcade, and it represents a dose of nostalgia on all service you can play. However, it can build a stronger case for a subscription. You can play simple explosions in the past with newer games help get the most out of modern Apple devices.
