Gaming Factory announced on June 3 that the multiplayer feature for JDM: Japanese Drift Master will go live on Steam on June 11. The update follows a playtest last week that saw no major system failures and positive player engagement. The multiplayer mode is an open-world sandbox where up to eight players can roam freely, create or join sessions, and use tuning shops and paint shops together. A Ghost Mode that disables collision detection is included to facilitate practice and twin drifting. Voice chat with push-to-talk is also available. GOG.com and Epic Games Store versions are due within a few weeks, with console releases in Q3 2026. Cross-play between PC platforms is planned, and full cross-play including consoles is a future target. Dedicated race modes are under development and expected in an update in the latter half of 2026.
