JetPack JoyRide For PC – Play On Facebook Online
Turns out that this game is available as a Facebook app as well, that is you can play JetPack Joyride on Facebook itself (simply on your computer browser). I prefer this method over installing BlueStacks and then playing game on that. The game quality and user controls when playing on Facebook is much better when compared to BlueStacks method. However that said, if you play JetPack on Facebook (or any other game on FB) you will be using internet bandwidth all the time. So this method is recommended only if you have unlimited internet connection plan. Lets simply play JetPack on Facebook :
- Open Facebook on your computer
- At the top bar (where you search), enter JetPack Joyride. This will list down all apps – select the Game “JetPack Joyride”. As shown in the image below.
- In the next screen you see – you will be taken to the game center where you will find JetPack Joyride
- At the top right side (as shown in the image) – you will see the icon Play Game.
- By clicking “Play game” above, this app will receive: Your basic info, Your email address.
- JetPack Joyride will simply start on your computer…
- Now simply play this game – this is the most easy method.
Again : You are playing JetPack Online – that it will consume your internet bandwidth. If you will be playing this game all the time and have a poor internet connection (or low bandwidth), we recommend that you download Jetpack on BlueStacks. Otherwise enjoy it on Facebook itself! Choice is yours…
