After launching for PC last May, Gaming Factory’s JDM: Japanese Drift Master is coming to Xbox Series X/S on November 21st. It’s also coming to PS5, but in Q1 2026. Check out the announcement trailer below.
Set in the Honshu-inspired Guntama, the story follows Thomas, who ventures from Europe to Japan and inherits a garage left by his late father. Teaming up with Hideo, he becomes involved in the underground racing scene, building up his own vehicle and taking on heated rivals over the course of multiple chapters (told through manga-like panels).
Its other calling card is the massive open world, spanning over 250 kilometers with varying weather conditions, a day/night cycle, and various challenges to complete. While the launch version didn’t exactly set the world on fire (check out our review), it’s received several updates to improve performance and address bugs.
A new paid DLC pack, Made in USA, is also slated for November, adding six vehicles inspired by American muscle cars alongside 30 new tuning parts. Stay tuned for more details on its launch in the coming weeks.
