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.
Add-ons

Japanese Drift Master. J’ai acheté ce jeu parce que j’adore le Japon. Là-dessus je n’ai pas été déçu car, même si les graphismes ne sont pas photoréalistes, j’avais l’impression de m’y retrouver. J’aime bien les jeux de course de voiture. En revanche, le drift me laisse indifférent. Pourtant, je me suis surpris à apprécier de faire glisser mes voitures. D’autant qu’il y a quelques courses classiques et de drag. A noter que ce jeu a été fait par des gens tout aussi amoureux du Japon que moi. Ils ont été jusqu’à illustrer l’histoire par un manga. Jusqu’au générique de fin, on sent leur passion et l’amour du travail bien fait. Dernier bon point : Un choix de voitures satisfaisant, avec du tuning. Seul bémol : pas de vinyles pour les personnaliser. Conclusion : laissez-vous envoûter par les paysages japonais et l’exotisme de leurs villes et villages.

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 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.

very disappointed with the so called physic, cant even control the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ car.
ai vibe coded slop. frame-gen and dlss are not there to compensate for your incompentence. runs horrible. regret buying it.
My go-to mindless game. Once you get a grip on the controls, everything flows so smooth!
Wreszcie jakaś "ścigałka" która nie stara się być kolejnym symulatorem i co najważniejsze nie powiela nudnego do bólu schematu festiwalowych rozgrywek inspirowanych FH. Zresztą samo porównywanie do Forzy też nie jest tutaj właściwe spoglądając chociażby przez pryzmat samego budżetu tych produkcji. JDM ogrywałem na padzie i sterowanie wydaje się być całkiem ok - aczkolwiek droga hamowania wydaje się być trochę przesadzona. Tak czy inaczej łatwo się przyzwyczaić. Stacje radiowe z muzyką dobrze podkreślają klimat otoczenia (za co oczywiście duży plus) choć sama okolica sprawia wrażenie zamkniętego placu zabaw. Zapewne głównym winowajcą tej sytuacji jest ruch drogowy a w zasadzie jego brak, owszem miejscowo się on pojawia ale odnoszę wrażenie że pojazdy odnawiają się tuż za zakrętem i czekają na gracza. Ponadto cały ten ruch jest zbyt sztuczny. Brakuje mi tu również ludzików w mieście, wrzucić nawet jakieś sprite'y coś co sprawiałoby że jednak ktoś tam jest prócz wiatru :). Bardzo cieszy mnie fakt, że producent pomyślał o wątku fabularnym. Nie jest on może bardzo ambitny ale jest! Sposób opowieści przedstawiono w formie mangi i kreska obrazków jest na prawdę bardzo ładna. Duch Initial D i nostalgia starych NFS-ów są tutaj bardzo mocno wyczuwalne :) Dla fanów szukających wspomnień minionej epoki w nowym wydaniu jest to pozycja obowiązkowa Gratulacje dla Gaming Factory za realizację tego projektu. Mam nadzieję, że na JDM 1 się nie skończy :)
Je l'ai acheté après avoir vu le test de Sylvain Lyve. Et comme tout bon iencli de ce qui est japonais sakura, drift kawaii la meuf avec les oreilles de chat... Bah j'ai acheté... Bon, plus serieusement, la prise en main est pas évidente au début. Vous pouvez etre déçu de pas avoir la sensation que vous vouliez a la base. Il vous faudra une dizaine d'heure, (je pense) pour trouver un véhicule qui vous plait et avoir la possibilité de taper des drifts comme ton voisin essaye de les faire avec ça golf 4 tunning. Graphiquement pas au point de faire gicler dans le slip mais c'est quand meme agréable de pouvoir se balader dans un semblant de japon imaginé par les russes (oui vraiment). Cependant je le recommande, parce que si t'as besoin d'une bonne dose de Nipponnerie t'as trouvé ce qu'il te faut.
o jogo ainda tem muito oque progredir . como um sistema de racha com npc offline ou online , na maioria das vez o modo online crasha , o sistema de decalque tbm nao esta disponivel so para algumas jogadores isso de ve ser bug do jogo , mais ainda sim do jogo tem futuro se adicionar conteudo constantemente mente ficar so rodando no jogo perde a graca com o tempo fora que so tem 50 modelo de carros, oque limita muito a graca de jogar ,,, espero mais do jogo
我知道我的电脑有点垃圾了 但是显卡优化确实太差了
I played with Simcade settings on a Gamepad: Its not a perfect game, but it is still fun!
Such a great game either for drifting around in an s14 either for just driving around at night blasting music thru the roads. 10/10 best 15 euro spent ever
