Today, Gaming Factory announced a brand new partnership that is coming to its hit racing simulator JDM: Japanese Drift Master.
The developers revealed that they’ll be teaming up with Hyundai Motor to bring their Insteroid concept electric vehicle to JDM: Japanese Drift Master. The car is known for its unique blends of the digital gaming culture with motorsports and drifting.
The Insteroid is an everyday drive car that has been modified into a vehicle taken straight from a cyberpunk setting, with animated plates inside and outside of the car. It will be available in-game on October 30, 2025, and will feature some other fun content to go alongside with its release.
For those who may not have heard about JDM: Japanese Drift Master before this, it is a realistic racing simulator that takes the players to an open-world, fictional Japanese prefecture – Guntama. The world features over 250 km of roads, famous tourist landmarks, legendary car enthusiast spots, and more for you to explore with brands like Nissan, Subaru, and Mazda.
Alongside plenty of cars to choose from and an exciting world to explore, the game also features a narrative told through in-game events and manga, giving it a unique feel and ambiance. The story mode centers on Touma, a Polish driver who dreams of making a name for himself on the local street-racing scene.
There are also plenty of side stories to explore in this realistic racing sim, including origins for characters in Rise of the Scorpion and Tiger. JDM: Japanese Drift Master is currently available on Steam. A console version of the game is officially coming to Xbox Series X|S on November 21, 2025, and PS5 shortly after in Q1 2026.
