About JDM: Japanese Drift Master

Explore the birthplace of drift and dive into Japan’s iconic car culture!

JDM: Japanese Drift Master is an homage to Japan, Japanese street racing culture and drift. It’s an open world, story-driven experience, blending Tōge (mountainous) serpentines, with narrow rural roads and vast highways leading to a modern cityscape. With licensed cars and robust tuning options it’s a drifting paradise come true!
  • Driving Models
Designed primarily for gamepads, JDM boasts two driving models to choose from: Arcade, suited for a more relaxed experience and drift beginners; and Simcade in which all assists are off, trading full control over the car for more skill requirements to manage drifting. Players can switch between both models at any time during the game.
  • Open World
Soak in the atmosphere of Japan with the fictional prefecture of Guntama, created through mixing real-life locations from all over the country. With over 250 km of visually stunning main roads, standalone racing tracks and instanced events, set across winding mountain passes, rural areas and the city's bustling streets, you’ll explore diverse landscapes featuring traffic, dynamic weather, and day-night cycle systems.
  • Licensed Cars
Sit behind the wheel of legendary Nissan, Honda, Subaru and Mazda cars. Tune them mechanically with new parts and then fine tune the details. Experiment with visual parts: from hoods, through lights to full body kit swaps. Adjust the suspension, wheel camber, gear ratios and more. Finally, paint the car however you like using a free pick color palette. You want underglow? It’s at your disposal as well.
  • Story-driven Campaign
Step into the shoes of a foreigner determined to make his mark on the Japanese drifting scene. Compete in 40+ narrative-driven events and additional sidequests against the top drifters in the area. Experience this journey through hand-drawn manga pages, which add a unique and artistic touch to the game.
  • The Audio Purr
Experience authentic car sounds, captured through original recordings and brought to life with attention to detail, making you feel like you're truly behind the wheel. Cruise along picturesque roads while tuning in to genre-themed radio stations, including unique soundscapes of J-music, Phonk and even Eurobeat - choose the perfect soundtrack for your drive!
  • Multiplayer
The prefecture of Guntama is now open for up to 8 players in the lobby. Cruise around, drift on mountain passes or set up car meets - the world is your playground.*Additional game modes are coming in future updates.

// I want to clarify I do actually like this game and enjoy it But this game has some of the most confusing restrictive rules when it comes to a drift off or drift racing. Why do I have to be a very exact perfect distance from a target while drifting behind them? If I get ahead its over and if I spin out I have 5 seconds to get back? Like that just sucks. This game would be better if the mechanics in the drift racing were thought over a little more. If you do buy this game prepare to be artificially frustrated.

not good on the moza r5 unless you want to buy a handbreak and clutch pedal

I love this game for its nostalgia, but one thing i hate the most is understeering issues and braking. On Scorpion Side quests, I keep getting understeering with or without assists and giving me hard time to drift that badly designed drift car. It needs to be fixed because already keep losing this event for 2 hours straight and never played this game after that.

Although it is not, this game is very early access. From what I understand this is a small studio and I understand it takes a while to polish a game, but, it being presented as one is a big let down. To start, this game crashes very often. It happens mostly in events, and for no apparent reason, and it is frasturating. I've only played for about an hour, and noticed just enough bugs to ruin the feel for me: 1. Moving the camera to the front and back creates an audio cut-off. 2. Some cars have their camera distances bugged and closer in "Distance Chase" rather than the close ones. 3. While keybinds customization is very specific (in a good way), the menu feels odd and unpolished. Pressing A on a controller to buy a car will also instantly close the dialog coming after it, making it clunky and makes you miss important info you might need. 4. Controller support is 50/50. I use a Flydigi controller which works flawlessly in any other game without any 3rd party software or solution like the Steam API, yet in this one it claimed "all devices detected successfully" but couldn't sense a controller being used. 5. Menu navigation icons for buttons keeps switching to keyboard when using a c…

Don't know what to say except great game. I put a lot of time here into just learning the controls on a steering wheel. I've seen a lot of people complain it's too difficult on steering wheel but they clearly don't have the attention span to actually learn the game. Feels pretty good after learning and it's satisfying as hell.
