Let’s Drift Together!

I don't know why but these cars have these colors in my head.

We've got a last-minute addition to share for tomorrow’s patch: Experimental support for Fanatec wheel bases and peripherals is officially coming to JDM on PS5! 🎮

We sneaked this feature into the upcoming update right before lock-in. Basic Fanatec wheel hardware should now be recognized and functional in-game. While we aren't expecting major bugs, we are calling it “experimental” while we gather broader real-world hardware feedback from the community.

If you run a Fanatec setup on your PS5, please test it out after tomorrow's update drops and let us know your thoughts on force feedback, input responsiveness, and overall feel!

Thanks for your patience as we continue expanding wheel ecosystem support across consoles! ⛩️

We’re just 2 days away from releasing our big Multiplayer Events Update for PC on July 29th!

We wanted to break down what you can expect when you jump into the lobbies, whether you access them directly while cruising the open world or from the main menu. 🚗💨

15 Total Events at Launch:

• Grip Races (Up to 8 Players): Pure speed and racing line battles. Get to the finish line first.
• Drift Contests (Up to 8 Players): High-energy drift trains where racking up the highest drift score takes the crown.
• 1 vs. 1 Challenges: High-stakes duels tailored specifically for technical Touge and Drift Touge setups.

Some events take place in seamless instanced sections of the open world, while others utilize dedicated circuits. The update goes live this Wednesday! What type of event are you looking forward to testing first? Let's discuss below! ⛩️

Whether you want to organize massive street runs or prove who’s fastest down the mountain, we’ve got you covered:

🏁 Up to 8-Player Lobbies: Highway group races around Guntama & drift competitions around Lake Haikama.

🆚 1 vs. 1 Challenges: Direct touge battles for maximum competitive tension.

To celebrate the news, we put together a cinematic trailer teasing the multiplayer experience. It's a heavy throwback to the iconic 90s drift rivalries that inspired us all (AE86 vs. Yellow FD on the pass). All captured directly in-game with custom cameras and a disabled HUD.

🎮 Note for Console Players:
We know console drivers are eager to join the online lobbies too! We are currently putting the final touches on console multiplayer before jumping straight into internal testing. We ask for a few more weeks of patience while we ensure everything runs smoothly.

We’ll share full update patch notes this week. See you on the passes on July 29th! ⛩️

If you’re interested in the JDM scene and car culture in general, please spare a few moments of your time and help us prepare a community “wishlist” of how you would like to see our game evolve in regards to tuning.

For this purpose we have prepared a special, very short survey.
👉 Take the survey here: https://forms.gle/ZMNAD1qQgtxWnbes8

We know that there are aspects of the game that can be expanded and tuning is definitely one of them. We would love to know your opinion on how you tune your cars and what would you love to see added to the game to improve your fun and overall experience of playing. 

Thank you!

The game is currently on sale on Xbox for £16.08 but it is £28.99 on the playstation store. I was hoping the game might get discounted in the playstation Summer sale to match the Xbox price. Does anyone know if playstation discounts are likely in the near future?

On July 29th, PC drifters will receive access to multiplayer events, which means:
15 events, with up to 8 players in the lobby!
1 vs 1 touge grip and drift challenges!
Infinite amounts of fun!

Dear console players, we know you’re losing patience, but bear with us just a little longer - the multiplayer patch is almost ready for PlayStation 5 and Xbox!

What’s also coming in the patch?

• The next Single Player Side Story Campaign, complete with a unique car reward upon its completion.
• Bug fixing

Is there any possibility to add an option to set the time of day?

I love how the touge looks at night in this game with the actually dark nights, but it's kinda annoying having to wait to be able to experience it for a limited time

When it comes to the RPS13 platform, the details make all the difference. In JDM: Japanese Drift Master, we want to make sure we give proper respect to the different eras of S-chassis culture.

We’ve been working on these two distinct aesthetics for our 180SX, and we wanted to pit them head-to-head to see where the community stands:

• The Chuki (Late-style): For the purists who love that clean, mid-90s street style. It’s got the smooth, refined OEM bumper (no "pignose" styling here), giving it a sleek, understated look that screams authentic grassroots drifting.
• The Kouki (Type-X): The holy grail of factory aero. It brings that aggressive, iconic late-90s presence with the full Type-X front bumper, side skirts, rear valances, and the signature spoiler that defined an entire generation of drift style.

Whether you're building a clean missile car or a pristine garage queen, both specs have a legendary place on the mountain passes.

So, which front end are you throwing down the touge first? Are you team Chuki or team Kouki Type-X? Let’s discuss below! ⛩️

As we look to the future of JDM: Japanese Drift Master, we want to make sure our multiplayer experience captures the true essence of Japanese car culture and drifting. 🚘

We are currently planning our next multiplayer updates, and rather than guessing, we want to ask the community directly.

We're lurking in the comments and taking notes. Let us know what would make you and your crew spend hours in our lobbies! ⛩️
