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.

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
TLDR: if you like drifting games and initial D get it, if you want Assetto Corsa go buy Assetto Corsa would I recommend it? YES pros: fun if basic story (its a racing game, WTF do you want) driving is fantastic good car customization decent variety of vehicles and some fun hidden ones beautiful scenery and really good set dressing, it really does feel a lot like japan cons: for some races the AI is broken as all hell there is no way to restart the story mode if you want another playthrough the photomode wont hide the UI for the pictures so all of them had the UI in them. the nav system does not care what way you are driving only what side of the street you are on to calculate routes. which leads to really irritating navigation downtown

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.

Let's drift
game is amzing and also support wheel, tested on moza, fanatec and g920. dont listen to shortest review.
Honestly very well-made game. The physics are alright, graphics is great and I really like the manga style. However, it just wasn't what I expected.
Крутая японская игра, залип . Атмосфера огонь.
This game is good. It is what is says on the tin, an arcade / simcade drifter. The drifting is good, cars feel different in a meaningful way, so if you dislike a car, maybe try a different one. As an example: I hate the Legend (which is an unlicenced Supra) and the Nissan S15, but the FD RX7 is bliss! The game is heavy on the system, which is a bit sad. I mostly blame it on UE, which will likely be the cause for overly long loading screens, but all in all, the game is not perfectly optimized. Ran well enough on High with 4K and DLSS on quality though. The music and the amount and type of licenced cars really surprised me! There are a lot of great songs from different genres in there! Also there are a lot of licenced cars available. Not all cars are licenced and the aforementioned Legend is a prime example that Toyota is sorely missed, but Mazda, Subaru and Nissan are available!
