Oni Press will release a graphic novel that will portray several back stories related to the film entitled Jumper: Jumpscars.[14] The novel will be released on February 13, 2008, one day before the film's wide release. A publisher for Oni Press commented on the tie-in to the film, stating: "The world that was being built around these characters was so well-realized and the mythology so interesting that other stories about this conflict would be plentiful and add to what the filmmakers were building."[14] The novel was written by Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir and illustrated by Brian Hurtt.
A video game for the film will be made for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, and Wii consoles. The storyline will focus on the characters Griffin and Davey as he attempts to avenge the death of his parents. Nicholas Longano of the video game publisher Brash Entertainment stated, "From the very first script read, we knew this had to be made into a game. The teleportation elements make for some very compelling gameplay."[15] The game will be released on February 12, 2008, two days before the film's wide release.[16]

And as Davey explores his new power he learns that the world is literally his for the taking. But there are consequences too, as Davey will learn. His mother who left him and his abusive father years before, is reunited with Davey only to be killed. As Davey resists the pull from the CIA he must also battle those who took someone very dear to him.

Davey seeks the ultimate revenge, only to learn that revenge may not be what he really desires.
