Patch Notes

Cars

The Akina lineup is expanding with 5 new cars. Four new variations of Akina Phantom and an Akina Legend, all coming with their tuning parts ready to be unlocked and installed.

**Akina Phantom Hachi **

Akina Phantom Hachi Z

Akina Phantom Coupe

Akina Phantom Coupe Z

Akina Legend

Radio

Added seven, top-of-the-charts Eurobeat bangers to the radio, so that your Akina runs go that much smoother and flashier:)

• Running In The 90's / Max Coveri 

• The Top / Ken Blast 

• Right Now / Dark Angel 

• Don't stand so close/ Dr. Love

• Chemical Love / Kevin & Cherry 

• Tokyo Fever /Marko Polo

• Moving Up, Movin' Now / Jean Love

System

• Improved loading times for the open world and fast travel.

• Added a cross platform Leaderboard between PC and Xbox

Gameplay

• Resolved issues with braking, causing the cars to roll or behave in other unintended ways, in the Arcade physics model.

• Rebalanced the Easy Difficulty setting for the main story campaign (Acts 1 - 5). The opponents will now score less points and the overall challenge has been lowered to better reflect the intended difficulty level. 

• Improved the opponent AI in Tiger’s Side Mission Campaign.

• Improved streaming in the Guntama Port area - the game should run smoother in this area now.

Bugfixes

• Added Grip and Drift presets for the Honey Badger’s muscle car and Tiger’s Honda Civic. 

• Fixed several Landmark locations - they should now be far easier to obtain. 

• Fixed the cockpit camera angles for Tiger, when playing his Side Mission Campaign.

• Fixed pricing issues for Nissan GTR R35’s visual tuning parts.

• Fixed the issue with the Rapid Rabbit spoiler part - it now unlocks with progression as intended (Subaru BRZ).

• Fixed the issue with the BMM Sports Defend spoiler part - it now unlocks with progression as intended (Mazda RX-7 FC).

The Patch is live right now, so be sure to update the game. 

We’re continuing our work on major additions to the game, including the Multiplayer component, as well as the livery system, which proved to be more of a challenge than we initially anticipated. 

As always, we cordially invite you to our Discord server where you can talk to us directly or just discuss all things JDM with the rest of the community members.

Let’s Drift!
