Features

Built for drifting

Every part of XoidDrift was written for one thing: sliding a car sideways with your friends — on any PC.

GT-R drifting with flames and tire marks

Physics

Drifting that feels right

Four independent tires with load transfer, an engine with its own inertia, a clutch, a five-speed gearbox geared for each car and a nearly locked drift differential — all simulated 240 times a second.

  • A held key settles into a steady drift and swings across without hanging
  • The handbrake keeps rotating the car, and the angle you let go at is kept
  • Clutch kick, adjustable counter-steer assist (0–100 %) and steering angle
  • Tire marks, exhaust flames and smoke — each car with its own color

Multiplayer

Drift together, online

Create a room for one to eight players, pick a map and a car, and drive. Join whenever you like — there's no waiting room. Other cars are synced 30 times a second and drawn smoothly with interpolation.

  • Text chat with a color for every player and an OWNER tag for the host
  • Voice chat: voice activation or push-to-talk, each player's own volume
  • A minimap around your car and a big map with everyone's name
  • Password-protected rooms, kick, player search
Sound settings with device selection and a live microphone meter

Sound

Engines built from their firing order

No sound files: every engine is synthesized from its real cylinder count and firing order — the V8's burble, the flat six's scream — with exhaust boom, pops and bangs, rev limiter, turbo whistle, blow-off, flame crackle and tire screech.

  • Other cars get louder as they come closer, pan and shift pitch as they pass
  • A volume slider for every part of the sound
  • Pick your speakers and microphone by name, with a test sound

Runs on weak PCs

No AVX needed, Direct3D 10-class graphics, the whole interface in a single draw call. Render scale, MSAA, VSync and an FPS limit.

Keyboard, controller or wheel

Every action rebindable, analog pedals, a handbrake next to your wheel, and force feedback that pulls into the counter-steer.

Automatic or manual

Five gears tuned per car. Shift yourself with keys, buttons or paddles — over-revving downshifts are refused.

Eight languages

English, Türkçe, Nederlands, Deutsch, Русский, Français, Українська and Bahasa Indonesia — switched instantly.

Your password stays yours

Only an Argon2id hash is ever stored, e-mail verification, and everything encrypted end to end. Forgot it? Set a new one with a code.

Fair play

The server re-checks everything: impossible speeds, teleports and floods never reach the other players. Spammers get muted.

Garage

Six rear-wheel-drive cars

From a 238 HP classic to a 1001 HP monster — each with its own gearing, engine sound and exhaust flames.

FAQ

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. XoidDrift is a non-commercial, open-source learning project. There's nothing to buy.

Do I need an account?

Yes — all play is online, so you register once with a username and an e-mail address. The e-mail gets a 6-digit code to confirm it's yours.

I forgot my password. What now?

Click Forgot password? on the log-in screen and enter your e-mail. You'll get a code to set a new password. Nobody — not even the server — can see your old one: only a one-way hash of it is ever stored.

Can I play alone?

Yes. Create a room for one player — a solo room nobody else can join.

Will it run on my old laptop?

Very likely. XoidDrift was built for weak PCs from day one: no AVX, Direct3D 10-class graphics, and quality, render scale and FPS limit settings to make it lighter still.

My friend is on an older version and can't join.

Everyone needs the same version. Download the latest client from this page and replace the old folder.
