People have always had a thing for cars. Even if you’re not into them, it still feels good to go fast in a game like Drift Hunters. Over time, though, cars stopped being just about raw speed. The real thrill came from keeping control while sliding sideways through corners — that perfect mix of power and precision. That’s what drifting is all about, and Drift Hunters captures that feeling perfectly.
Developed by Ilya Kaminetsky and released in 2017, Drift Hunters is a free-to-play 3D driving game built around one idea — drift for as long as you can and rack up points. It’s part car simulator, part skill challenge. The game gives you a wide range of cars to unlock and upgrade, from classics to modern performance beasts. Each one feels different once you get behind the wheel, and that’s half the fun.
You can also tune almost every part of your ride. Change your turbo, suspension, brake balance, and gear ratios until your setup feels just right. Want more power for big slides or tighter handling for precision runs? It’s all up to you. The level of control you get makes this game as much about creativity as driving skill.
Drift Hunters is played mostly with the keyboard.
W / A / S / D – control movement and steering
Spacebar – handbrake for tighter drifts
C – switch camera view
Shift / Ctrl – gear up or down
Your goal is simple: drift to earn points. The longer and smoother your drift, the higher your score multiplier climbs. Keep chaining drifts without hitting walls or spinning out to maintain your combo and collect more credits to spend on new cars or upgrades.
If you’re new, start slow. Find an open map and practice maintaining control at lower speeds. Once you get comfortable, move to tighter tracks where you can test your reflexes and timing.
The reason Drift Hunters stands out is how natural it feels to drive and experiment. You’re not just racing — you’re learning the rhythm of each car. You can spend hours tweaking the setup until everything clicks. Then, when you finally nail that perfect drift through a long curve, it feels amazing.
It’s simple, rewarding, and endlessly replayable. Whether you’re in it for the customization, the physics, or the pure satisfaction of sliding around corners, Drift Hunters has something that keeps you hooked every time you play.
