- New update: Multiplayer mode - 17 December 2020
Hello Drifters! Gather your crews, it's time to drift together! We are happy to release the first version of the multiplayer mode, which will allow you to drift together on the courses of the EBISU complex. The main goal while working on multiplayer mode was for us to create a place where players will have full control over the session and experience. That's why we decided on a model in which the practice mode acts as a kind of lobby. Inside such a session, up to six players at once can move freely on the map, create tandems, accumulate drifting points, and talk on text chat. For those who want to "compete" we prepared a module called "events". Every player in the session will be able to join the event. For the time of the event, players who are not interested will not see these rivals and vice versa. At the moment, everyone has access to the simplest type, a kind of Free For All, in wh…
