I wonder if you know how they live in Guntama – JDM: Japanese Drift Master is out now!

Fast, but definitely more happy than furious – the developers at Gaming Factory are proud to announce the today’s release of JDM: Japanese Drift Master! The long-awaited racing game is now drifting onto SteamGOG, and the Epic Games Store. Take the wheel of legendary cars like Mazda RX-8, Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R, Impreza WRX STI, or Honda S2000 and conquer the winding roads of Japan.

What truly powers JDM: Japanese Drift Master is the fact that it was crafted by real fans of Japanese car culture. Every detail was fine-tuned with passion, and it shows – from the officially licensed vehicles, to the open world with both urban streets and mountain passes, two distinct driving modes (arcade and simcade) tailored to your preferred playstyle, and race types like drift and drag. Add in deep tuning options and a storyline packed with high-speed emotions, and we've got a game that leaves no gearhead behind.

JDM: Japanese Drift Master takes players to the fictional land of Guntama Prefecture, where they step into the shoes of a Polish driver, Touma who’s come to the land of the rising sun in search of redemption and a fresh start. The story unfolds as they explore the open world and take on new racing challenges. Told through manga-inspired illustrations, this is a heart-warming tale of friendship, love, underground racing, and earning the respect of the streets – yet another nod to Japanese pop culture.

Back in 2023, when we released the first demo of JDM: Japanese Drift Master, none of us expected the project to grow this much. Our amazing community played a huge role in that – your constant support kept us going. Today, the full version of the game finally hits the streets, and we can’t wait to see how you’ll handle the roads of Guntama.

Our goal was to create a racing game for everyone, with two modes to choose from – arcade or simcade – so you can all drift your own way. Now, get your engines running! We're especially excited to watch how creatively you’ll tune and customize your machines!

– Mateusz Bilko, Head of Sales and Marketing
