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.

Очень кайфовая гонка на пару вечеров. Здесь прям вайб Японии, в отличии от 6 Форзы. Как аркада на пару тройку вечеров залетает на ура. А еще тут очень изичная платина. :)
Fajna gierka, biorąc pod uwagę budżet i tematykę gry to w chuj szacun

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.

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...
Man, I wanted to like JDM: Japanese Drift Master so bad. The Japan vibes, JDM cars, and open world drifting idea is cool as hell. But the handling and physics feel like ♥♥♥♥. Cars don’t drive right drifting is either way too loose or just not fun. AI is dumb too. They rubberband hard and make races annoying. And the worst part? Runs like garbage on my Steam Deck. Even on the Steam Deck preset (everything low) it still stutters and dips. Feels unoptimized as ♥♥♥♥. Got some cool ideas but it’s not worth it imo 2/10
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.
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.
I tried to like the game, I really did, but there are a few gripes I have with it that keep me away from playing it much. The opponents' AI is just bad... they have unrealistic grip and acceleration that come out of seemingly thin air, until they spin out or drive into the wall two seconds later. It makes the races a slog to get through on the "hard difficulty", where you just have to rely on them deciding to paul-walker themselves if you want to win, or switch to the medium difficulty and turn basically every non-scripted race into a time-trial because your opponents' rubber-banding has been reduced (which is the only reason they can keep up in any sort of way). The rest of the game, such as the delivery missions and the drifting (bar the tandem events, which struggle from the same issue I mentioned earlier) are fine. There don't seem to be any proximity modifiers, e.g. drifting closer to the wall does not give you more points or increase your modifier, so most such events in the city part of the map are reduced to just sanpatsu-ing along the straights to farm points, which I find boring after a while. The story is another tough one to like for me. Imagine the most boilerplate self-insert isekai/harem male fantasy "plot", and turn it up to 11. It just feels exceptionally lazy to me, like they didn't even try to write anything with any sort of substance. I am willing to jot this down to personal preference, just not my cup of tea. The car customization and selection is fine, you have the typical japanese hero-cars you'd expect in a game such as this. I did not expect a hundred different bumper options, but the fact that there are only bodykits to choose from if you want to change your front/rear bumper and sideskirts is a little disappointing (still better than Forza Aero though >.>) The handling (simcade, haven't tried the full arcade version!) is quite fun [i] for drifting [/i], but grip racing feels unintuitive at times. No matter what kind of brakes you have on your car, it feels like you're using miata brakes on a semi-truck. The cars feel somewhat floaty, but that could be a setup issue on my part. The world feels terribly empty. I don't think I've seen more than 5 traffic cars at any single point. I've played Assetto Corsa maps w/o traffic that felt more alive than this map. It feels like a giant sandbox, much like the likes of the recent "Skate." release. Overall, I cannot wholeheartedly recommend this game, especially for full-price. I would still recommend you check it out, especially if you can find it at a deeper discount, as It can be fun to hop on for an hour or so every now and then, but there are other games I'd rather play instead. I've been playing the PS2 version of TXR Drift 2 and it just feels and plays way more like an ode to the likes of initial D and touge racing as a whole than this game does.
Бесформенная подделка игропрома
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.
