Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
About
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
Explore the prefecture of Guntama with up to 8 players in a lobby. Cruise together, organize car meets, or compete in multiplayer drift battles, grip races, and 1v1 touge challenges across the open world.

Reviews
physics are okay, cars are nice, but the world and art direction were a huge letdown. Despite AI traffic, the world feels dead. You're driving on fake drifting roads in fake Japan, It feels like a mid-tier theme park, that exists just for you to trash your car around. Not a living, breathing world that you are just one of many drivers in.
There's lots of fun to be had here for car enthusiasts and JDM fans should have an absolute blast. I think the driving dynamics are on point. There are lots of customisation options and a decent range of cars too. One of my favourite things is executing a perfect drift around a bend and getting taken out by a beige Suzuki Jimny trundling along in the opposite direction. Hilarious.

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 22: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 3/day in the week to Jul 30 → 7.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Imagine if you will, Gran Turismo runs into Midnight Club 3 at a mall. They talk and hit it off, culminating in a child. Then one day Midnight Club 3 meets Initial D and finds herself enamored. After much growth and discussion, Gran Turismo, Midnight Club 3, and Initial D form a polycule, raising their child JDM. It's got issues of course. Some performance on steam deck, some random geometry if you go off the road, inconsistent race restart options, and the gps is on drugs for some missions. But all in all it's a phenomenal experience.
Какой-то симулятор утюгов на льду. Управление из коробки кусок жeпы бобра. Хз чо вам всем так нравится, видать в нормальные гонки с дрифтом никто не играл. Я фанат гоночных симуляторов и аркадных гонок, но в это играть просто больно. Кор геймплей в виде дeрьмyщего управления отбивает все желание возвращаться сюда.
At first, the game seems promissing, due to its beautiful Map and the details. While driving the first car, there is nothing much to be surpised off, because its the first car. I tried with my Thrustmaster T300 GT Setup. Believe me, it is not suited for playing with a setup. The controlls are horrible. Its more like a Arcade game were the controller is your best friend. After a while you got money, you buy our car and customitze it. Good think is, that everything is unlocked - you only have to reach a certain car lvl. A really big problem are the decals - there are none, to this day. You can only change the colour of your car. Not even the rims or the window tint, just the car. The story mode is fun at the beginning. Later on its basicaly the same over and over again. You do get some cars in the game. Surpise surprise, you cant change anything on them. Overall, this game feels like a early access game due to its missing content. If its on sale, its worth trying it out, full price ain´t worth it.
Бесформенная подделка игропрома
Fajna gierka, biorąc pod uwagę budżet i tematykę gry to w chuj szacun
Играю на клаве за неимением другого, пока учился и развозил суши, фарманул 30 ый уровень мастерства первой машины и вкачал на фулл даже не начав сюжет. Люблю так делать но тут вышло чисто случайно. Гибкая настройка аля форза, вцелом вещь прекрасная не один час там провёл. 9 ый урок дрифта я траил раз 50 чтобы проехать все зоны идеально, за одним случайно выполнил ачивку на 100 км пхвххв.. с первых же минут выключил аркадный режим и познал всю настоящую физику и она здесь прекрасна. Как и треки FREE FLOW FLAVA, Ditro, NKOHA и других любимых исполнителей (причём русских), чувствуется вот этот андерграунд, когда атмосфера тематическая, а не попсовая, как в том же NFS недавних лет. У меня наиграно 500 часов в NFS Heat и по сотне на рядом с ним стоящих. Лучше бы я провёл это время ЗДЕСЬ, учитывая какой здесь настоящий дрифт по сравнению с тремя последними NFS (Payback, Heat, Unbound) А на момент написания обзора я закрыл все достижения, проехал 1600 км и прошёл сюжет, что довольно неплохой. Визуализация через мангу получилась очень даже антуражной. Из небольших минусов как кто-то тут писал, хочется увидеть марко-образных, (Chaser, Cresta, Carina) и так далее, которых увы почему-то не решились занести в игру, хотя это основная составляющая JDM на дальнем востоке) Есть проблемы с NPC, порой они ведут себя крайне странно и зачастую даже не дрифтят, при этом набирая очки (обычные рельсы без особой вариативности) Оптимизация кусками и не везде, но на моём не сказать чтоб уж мощном ведре, играть на высоких+ в 60 фпс можно. Я бы написал ещё пару десятков строк про всякое, но мне лень. Игру очень даже рекомендую, особенно за 700р. Это стоит того и игра имеет потенциал потягаться с форзой в будущем, если Gaming Factory выложится на все 100% Как минимум вайб настоящей Японии здесь ощущается лучше.
Рекомендую Игра реально неплохая. Не идеальная, конечно, но кайф от неё получить можно спокойно. Если любите вайбы Initial D, ночные покатушки и дрифт по серпантинам, то вам сюда. Пейзажи местами прям очень красивые, особенно на спусках с горы. Под хорошую музыку залетает вообще отлично, саундтрек тут реально огонь, иногда чисто ради атмосферы хочется снова зайти в игру. Играл с геймпада и ощущения приятные, хоть управление местами и немного кривоватое. Как играется на клаве вообще не знаю, особо не пробовал. Оптимизация тоже хромает, бывают просадки, но ничего прям критичного, играть не мешает. Короче, игра с душой. Не без косяков, но атмосфера всё вытягивает. На скидке брать точно стоит.
O jogo tem um potencial incrível, porem falta algumas opções tais como venda de carros e um melhor ajuste no GPS, está bugando demais. De resto acredito que a própria desenvolvedora por si só já imagina o que deve ser melhorado...
