addedOssu!To enter the year with good vibes, we’ve decided to extend the JDM’s promotion for another two weeks! If you’ve played through all of your new games during the Holiday break this might be your chance to finally venture to Guntama for some quality downhill drifting.
changed2026 in JDMWe’ve already shared this news multiple times with everyone, but just as a reminder - we’re continuing to work on expanding the Paint Shop with a sticker / livery addition. The system poses more problems than we initially expected, and we’re dealing with them as you read these words. We expect the update to be released soon, but we cannot commit to any solid deadline yet. Please be patient.
changed2026 in JDMThe next big thing for us is the launch of the PlayStation 5 version of the game - it will happen soon, but we’re not yet ready to drop the release date. Stay tuned for more info!
added2026 in JDMLast but not least, we’re cooking the multiplayer component for the game. The development process is coming along nicely, and we’ll have more details for you in the upcoming months. What we can say right now is that we’re aiming to launch multiplayer on all platforms simultaneously and are working towards having a cross-platform experience. We’re also planning on doing some closed beta testing on Steam before everything goes live. We know a lot of you are waiting for this feature and we can’t wait to see you racing downhill alongside your friends! Again, stay tuned for upcoming devlogs to be the first to learn about new updates.
changedThank you!Thank you for being a part of this journey. It’s been over half a year since we launched JDM and 2025 was full of awesome drifting moments thanks to you - your feedback (be it good or bad) has driven the course of our development and will continue to do so in 2026. See you on Guntama roads!
