Drifted, the worldwide online drifting platform and community, announces the launch of Drift Hunters MAX with its list of new features, cars, tracks, and visual improvements, resulting in the ultimate, free, online drifting game. The new release is announced to the press as the USA championship, Formula Drift, takes place in Long Beach, California.

Responding to fans’ requests for updates on the original Drift Hunters game, the Drifted .com team developed a new version from scratch. By opting for this approach the team has been able to utilise the very best that the Unity game engine has to offer, unleashing many exciting new possibilities for players.

Drift Hunters MAX features:

  • Improvements on players’ ability to save their progress in the game. Integration into Drifted.com’s new account functionality allows users to save their progress to the Cloud, and log in and resume their play regardless of location. This is ideal for people on the go or commuting.
  • Improved graphics which take Drift Hunters MAX visuals to the next level.
  • Improved physics which provides the most realistic browser drifting experience to date.
  • Based on fans’ feedback, Drifted .comhas added 12 new, exclusive cars to the game: a mind-blowing 37 cars stored in your garage, with an enhanced tuning menu which tells gamers the score multiplier, power, weight, and speed with each upgrade. Among the most popular requests were some of the most impressive modern drift chassis, such as the Toyota GR Supra and the BMW E92 M3.
  • The inclusion of exclusive tracks in the original game had earned a cult following; in Drift Hunters MAX players can race on 12 exciting tracks including an incredible touge track alongside a parking lot, which enables players to refine their wall-scraping abilities. The tracks’ appearances are now more visually impressive.

Drift Hunters MAX was recently launched on YouTube on 4 February 2022 by rising drifting star, Max Cotton, who has competed at the highest levels of professional drifting in the UK and Europe at just 15 years old. Max is also a huge fan of the original game.

Whilst road-testing the game, Max commented: “I’m just going to be here at like 7 o’clock tomorrow morning still playing this game…I might just quit professional drifting and play Drift Hunters MAX the whole time!”

Founder and CEO of Drifted .com, Joseph Terrell, says: “The original Drift Hunters game was hugely popular among drifting fans thanks to its realistic physics and similarities to real-world drifting. However, despite its popularity, Drift Hunters didn’t receive updates for several years. But we noticed how loyal and passionate the fans are and so we took the decision in 2021 to reimagine the game so they have a much-enhanced gaming experience.

“Listening to fans’ requests for improvements, as a surprise, we also delivered the first-ever competition car to the series – Max Cotton’s pro-spec Nissan Silvia PS13. The response has been incredible – so far we have 20,000 active Drift Hunters MAX accounts, created by gamers in the USA, UK and Australia.

“We genuinely believe that any automotive enthusiast will be able to enjoy what Drift
Hunters MAX has to offer. Already very popular among young people, the game is free, quick and convenient to play wherever you are.”

Drifted .com continually listens to the fans’ feedback and intends to launch new updates to the game as frequently as possible.

On July 3, 2025, Trophy Hunter – the latest game developed by the Ten Square Games team – launched globally across major markets. With this title, the company expands its presence in the fast-growing hunting game segment, where it already has solid experience. Trophy Hunter is the third Ten Square Games project in this genre – this time designed as a skill-based game, offering an accessible yet competitive experience for a broad player base.

“- Ten Square Games was one of the pioneers in the mobile hunting games segment. Since the release of Hunting Clash, the market has grown significantly, and players’ expectations have evolved. Trophy Hunter is our response to those changes – a skill based game that emphasizes fast-paced gameplay, reflexes, and strategic decision-making. We’re building on a world we know well, but offering a new style of play that opens up fresh growth opportunities,” says Jakub Noganowicz, Product Owner of Hunting Clash and Trophy Hunter.

About Trophy Hunter

Trophy Hunter is a hunting game designed for players who enjoy quick, dynamic gameplay and competitive PvP action. Its core mode features three-round duels where precision, reaction time, and decision-making under pressure matter most – rather than exploration or resource management. Players can upgrade their personal base (Hunter’s Lodge), customize weapons, and compete in a structured league system.

“- The launch of Trophy Hunter is a test for both an alternative gameplay model and a more hybrid approach to monetization. We see this moment as the conclusion of the game’s first development phase. Now begins the most important stage – one driven by player feedback. The success of the project will depend not only on how the game is received but also on our ability to scale the title and consistently grow its player base,” says Andrzej Ilczuk, CEO of Ten Square Games.

Trophy Hunter follows a free-to-play model with microtransactions that let players upgrade weapons and ammo. It also features rewarded video ads**, allowing revenue generation from non-paying users. Thanks to hybrid monetization and a lower entry threshold, Trophy Hunter is aimed at a broader audience. Its lower cost per acquisition offsets the lower ARPU* compared to other Ten Square Games titles. The hybrid business model allows room for scalable growth and expanding the game’s reach.

From prototype to global release

Development on Trophy Hunter began in Q1 2024. In the final production phase, the core development team included 10 directly involved contributors.

In late June 2025, as part of pre-launch preparations, Ten Square Games removed the test version of the app from Google Play and the App Store, replacing it with the final version and opening preregistration. Over 500,000 players only on Google platform used the opportunity to ensure the fastest possible access to the game on global launch day. Those who preregistered received an exclusive in-game reward – a replica of the Beretta BRX1 rifle and 10 rounds of special ammunition. This was made possible thanks to Ten Square Games’ collaboration with the globally recognized Beretta brand, originally established for Hunting Clash.

What’s next

At launch, the game includes 9 playable arenas. The release marks the beginning of a new development chapter for Trophy Hunter. The roadmap includes progressive content expansion and ongoing testing of the game’s global scalability. If this proves successful, future updates will bring more arenas, new gameplay modes, a LiveOps system, Battle Pass, and additional features to boost player engagement and expand challenge variety.

* ARPU – average revenue per user
** Rewarded video – an ad format where players voluntarily watch a video ad in exchange for an in-game reward.
