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.

Reviews
The game has good visuals that require a modern ish PC (1060 6gb won't work). The handling is good, but the collisions are brutal and a bit unrealistic (vehicle jumps up at the slightest thought of a rock) the story is ok but has little to no bearing on the gameplay The drifting angle system encourages throwing the car one direction then another in a straight line to maintain the drift, and doesn't allow for hairpins where the car goes beyond 90 degrees. the vehicle upgrade progession does not follow that of the AI in the races, creating a need to grind sushi deliveries to have enough power to chase in touge. Overall, the game has potential and could be really good, but feels unpolished and unrefined, as well as mid-balanced. Might update the review if the game gets improved later.

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.

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 2,419 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.

Avant de sortir un mode multi se serait pas mal de faire un peu d'OPTIMISATION, le jeu tourne horriblement mal même avec tout au minimum. Oui j'ai pas un PC de guerre mais bon là y a du ménage à faire. J'ai eu le jeu dès le début et il tournait très bien, en quelques maj c'est devenu injouable. Si jamais j'ai raté un truc dans les paramètres à vous de me dire mais pour l'instant je vais attendre qu'il y ai de l'opti.
Absolute gem
NPCの挙動きもすぎ 先行ならくねくねせんとはよ走らんかい
Говном воняет
It is a mix of need for speed underground, street racing syndicate, and juiced in one package! Please create more DLC cars

for me this is porsche unleashed, driving circles with your turnlights, driving for pleasure. golden give us lambos to please (like the old lp640 manual) for us fanatics
Uh, good game. Cars look nice a feel fun to play. And the graphics and map are nice. but story kinda corny...
