[b]Q. When will there be a JDM launch? A. [/b]The game is scheduled to be released in Spring 2025. [b]Q. Will JDM be available for consoles? A. [/b]At the moment our main focus is on the PC version. For the console release information follow our announcements. [b]Q. Is it possible to leave the car and move on foot across the map? A. [/b]No. It’s a car driving game only. As much as we would want to provide you with an option to walk around Guntama, it would steer our attention away from what’s really important here - drifting in beautiful cars at scenic Japanese vistas. [b]Q. How can we get a free key to the game? A. [/b]We’re not offering free keys to the game per say, but we occasionally host various contests in which you can win a key. Follow our social media and join our Discord to never miss your chance to win one. Join the fun! ➡️ [url=https://linktr.ee/japanesedriftmaster]JDM LINKTREE[/url] [b]Q. Is there a YouTube or Spotify playlist with music in JDM? A. [/b]We have a playlist available on Spotify. It’s not a full JDM OST yet, but we promise to build it up for launch! ➡️ [url=https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7ErhMg9jw0dcjcmXo7XC73?si=4145127845e24a2b ]JDM PLAYLIST[/url] [b]Q. Will there be DLC or updates after the release? A. [/b]Yes, the initial release is only the beginning for JDM. Expect content updates after release. We will share more details closer to the game's launch. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44021335/01083520f07d28a0a45e5426e4da1c34fa6268dd.png[/img] [b]Q. Will there be optimization for Steam Deck? A. [/b]Optimization of the game is extremely important to us, we are constantly working to make our game as accessible as possible for everyone. At this point, we can't promise that yet, because we are still in the production phase, but we will certainly let our players know everything before the release. [b]Q. Will the players be able to modify the drift physics of the cars? A. [/b]Of course! There will be a robust tuning system in place, where you will be able to tune your car to any needs, be it drift, grip, or even drag. Expect more detailed info on the subject next year. [b]Q. Is JDM: Rise of the Scorpion and JDM demo the same thing? A. [/b]Yes they are. JDM: Rise of the Scorpion launched as a separate store product, but has been moved since to the main JDM: Japanese Drift Master store page as a demo to avoid player confusion. [b]Q. Is there a list of steering wheels supported by the game? A. [/b]Not at this time. However, we’ve seen and taken to heart all of your feedback and hardware requests from the JDM: Rise of the Scorpion. We are working on the new binding system and we’re continually adding new devices to the game. We want as many devices as humanly possible to work for the launch of JDM. [b]Q. Will there be a possibility to set a point wherever you want on the map (to guide you to the place)? A. [/b]Yes, you will be able to mark a spot through an in-game GPS system that will find you the route to your destination, making it easier for you to navigate our open world. [b]Q. Maybe it's confidential, but will the map be fully explorable, or will you have to unlock the regions one by one? A. [/b]The map will be fully explorable from the beginning. The moment you hit play, you will be able to drive to any of our beautiful landmarks and soak in the Japanese road atmosphere. Note that story events will unlock with your progression and will need to be completed before the next unlocks and becomes visible on your map.
