Drift Hunters

Mar 11 2024 in Drifting Games

Welcome to Drift Hunters!

Drift Hunters is a free-to-play drifting game. Drift a selection of high-performance cars on a selection of exciting tracks, including both roads and circuits.

This drift car game uses the UNITY engine, which delivers a detailed 3D world with realistic drifting physics and a solid frame rate, even on less powerful devices.

Your first car is the iconic Toyota Corolla (AE86). As you hit the track and improve your drifting skills, you will unlock a whole garage of cars, including the Nissan Silvia (S13, S14, S15), Toyota Supra (MK4), RX-7 (FD3S), Ford Mustang, an RWB Porsche 911 and many more.

You can customize your car to your heart’s content, modifying each car’s wheels, suspension, paint and performance tuning. The performance tuning runs deep, with options to upgrade brakes, weight saving, gearbox, turbo and the engine.

Ten different race circuits are at your disposal, including Nishuri, Stadium, Tyshen, Docks, Dust, Port, Emashi, Touge, Forest and the City.

What are you waiting for? Turn the key – let’s drift!

Drift Hunters tips

  • Be gentle with the cursor keys; smooth is fast, and fast is smooth. Balance the car with the throttle while mid-drift
  • Flick the car from left to right when on long, sweeping roads to trigger the drift combo multiplier
  • Tune your car, but be careful not to make it overpowered – this can make the car harder to control
  • Pick tracks with long, sweeping curves to grind your points. We recommend using the City for this
