Drift Hunters MAX V1

As we continue to develop Drift Hunters MAX, some of the changes that we make unfortunately will not be to everybody’s taste. Never fear, here is the original V1 of Drift Hunters MAX that we released back in February 2022.

Please note that Drift Hunters MAX (current) save game data is not backwards compatible and can no longer be used on Drift Hunters MAX V1. However, you are still free to play the original game without saving your cars and credits to your Drifted account.

We recommend that you instead play the latest version of Drift Hunters MAX and take advantage of all the new features that we have built for you to enjoy.
