Masters of the Universe Joins Jetpack Joyride Update

• The Masters of the Universe event launches on July 30th.
• Five legendary character skins will be available.
• This update also includes four new jetpacks and three vehicles.

Barry Steakfries receives a massive upgrade in the newest Jetpack Joyride update. From July 30th, players can dive into a limited-time Masters of the Universe event, bringing the epic power of Eternia into this frantic side-scrolling adventure. In collaboration with Mattel, Halfbrick Studios allows you to step into the roles of Grayskull's legendary heroes—just be prepared for Skeletor to fight dirty.

This special Jetpack Joyride crossover introduces five legendary outfits directly inspired by Masters of the Universe, letting you soar through the skies as He-Man, Skeletor, and other iconic characters.

Each costume isn’t just for show—it connects to a themed collection of four jetpacks and three vehicles, featuring the mighty Battle Cat and the iconic Power Sword. It’s a blast of 80s nostalgia rocketing through laser walls and coin trails.

While Barry is no stranger to chaos, this might be his wildest adventure yet. The crossover doesn’t simply reskin the game; it layers on heroic absurdity, pitting Eternian technology and magic against missile barrages and zappers.

It’s also a smart refresh for one of mobile gaming’s most enduring arcade classics. Jetpack Joyride’s core gameplay has stayed consistent over the years, but crossover events like this keep the experience exciting—especially when the jetpacks are this outrageous and the nostalgia hits this hard.
