Gaming Factory is preparing to release a free multiplayer update for JDM: Japanese Drift Master on Steam on June 12, 2026, with a second paid DLC arriving later in the month.
Gaming Factory announced the multiplayer feature for JDM: Japanese Drift Master on June 3, 2026, with a planned Steam launch on June 11. The update supports up to eight players in an open-world sandbox, with GOG and Epic Games Store versions following within weeks and console versions planned for Q3 2026. Additional features include color identification, map pins, fixed-phrase chat, tuning and paint shops in multiplayer, and a Ghost Mode. Cross-play between PC platforms is planned, with full cross-play including consoles as a future goal.
On June 11, 2026, Gaming Factory revised the release date to June 12, 2026, for the same free update. The mode includes voice chat, quick chat, map markers, and Ghost Mode for collision-free driving. The PC version gets multiplayer first, with GOG.com, Epic Games Store, and console versions planned later. The second paid DLC American Classics arrives June 25.
The two stories agree on the core features and the staggered rollout across platforms, though the exact Steam launch date shifted by one day between the initial announcement and the day before release. The multiplayer update shifts JDM: Japanese Drift Master from a solo driving experience to a shared online one, a key feature for the drifting and car-meet audience the game targets.
