The value story

The value story

The lowest price on record is $2.99, set in November 2025. It has been discounted 61 times in the 9 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 55 percent, about 6 weeks apart.

Its score puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. The nearest things to it, CarX Street ($9.99, scores 23) and OverDrift Festival ($9.99, scores 40), are both worse buys on this math.

$37.27 is where it would stop being a BANGER.

Not sure why everybody buying dlc stuff when yall are literally on pc and can get an unlock tool that gives you infinite money and everything but you do you. love the game very fun wish yall could've kept the vibe with carx2 but its fine ig. unless yall changed the feel of things and it does seem better but I'm not paying to find out, and it feels too grindey, grindy? IDK how to spell it

The OG drift game that was actually good when it came out. I have very much liked carX games since i had played them on my phone and now to play it on console/pc and they now have a few game's out is awesome! I have spent a lot of hour's on console playing this and plan to put a lot of hour's into it here. Can't wait to get back to drifting in all of the title's now! 10/10
