JDM: Japanese Drift Master News

[p]
[/p][p]JDM: Japanese Drift Master has been out for a little over six months now. It’s been one hell of a ride with its ups and downs. Thousands upon thousands of feedback notes from the community, constructive criticism and words of praise and encouragement later we’re here to summarise the game’s achievements.[/p][p][/p][p]The one single game element, which our entire community seems to be at an agreement with is the quality and diversity of the soundtrack. From rock/metal, through hip-hop, J-Music into the more street racing genre defining radio stations like Phonk and Eurobeat - it seems everyone found something to vibe with while cornering that next touge serpentine. [/p][p]
This is why we kindly ask for your votes for the Best Soundtrack of 2025 at the Steam Awards.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Beginning today you can cast your vote for any eligible game on Steam in nine different categories: GOTY, Best Game on Steam Deck, Better with Friends, Outstanding Visual Style, Most Innovative Gameplay, Best Game You Suck At, Best Soundtrack, Outstanding Story-Rich Game and Sit Back and Relax.[/p][p][/p][p]Although we find the Best Soundtrack nomination as the most adequate for the game, feel free to nominate us in any of the categories. We assure you, every vote will be cherished deeply by our team![/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p]If you want to talk about game music, JDM or cars in general, we have an ever-growing community of passionate people at our discord server. Feel free to join in the conversations today.[/p][p]

[/p][p]JDM: Japanese Drift Master is out now Xbox Series X|S! [/p][p][/p][p]Watch the trailer![/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]
Buy it on Xbox Store[/p][p][/p][p]Launching on consoles is a big thing for us. It has been six months since the PC release. In this time we have been continually expanding the game with new content: adding new cars, new features, making a lot of gameplay adjustments and solving countless bug reports, we even squeezed in a DLC in there! What we’re trying to say here - it has been a LOT of work. And all of that found its way to the Xbox version of the game![/p][p][/p][p]The struggle was well worth it though! We managed to gather a wonderful, dedicated community that’s not afraid to nitpick our work but also has the guts to share words of encouragement. We hope that the Xbox version will bring even more new players in, who will share their own experiences and soak in the beautiful and highly technical art of drift and the drifting culture in general. [/p][p][/p][p]Thank you all for your support! [/p][p][/p][p]PS. PlayStation owners - JDM: Japanese Drift Master will launch on PlayStation 5 in Q1 2026.[/p][p][/p][h3]What to expect for the Xbox version of the game?[/h3][hr][/hr][p][/p][p]As mentioned in the introduction - everything :) The Xbox port will be on par with the PC version, including the latest PC patches. [/p][p]The one difference is the support of steering wheels - the Xbox version of the game focuses solely on gamepads.[/p][p][/p][h3]Game Versions Available on Release [/h3][hr][/hr][p][/p][p]JDM: Japanese Drift Master (base game)[/p][p]Price: 34,99 USD[/p][p][/p][p]JDM: Made in USA (DLC)[/p][p]Price: 5,99 USD
