UMX Studios, backed by Jetapult, has officially released DriftX, a mobile car simulation racing game that combines fast-paced competitive action with immersive gameplay. The game has surpassed many global titles, crossing 1.8 million downloads with its beta, and is aiming for 15 million downloads by year’s end. Furthermore, the game hit #1 in the Middle East and smashed through top charts across regions such as the US on both the App Store and Google Play.

The studio’s game title redefines the mobile racing genre by combining competitive modes such as ranked multiplayer and time trials with open-world exploration, a rare feature in drift games. Its physics-driven mechanics strike a perfect balance between arcade accessibility and technical depth, catering to both casual players and racing enthusiasts. The game also offers seamless social integration with features like Voice Chat, Play Together, and Hang Out, making it a dynamic, community-driven experience with an unmatched realistic experience.

UMX Studios recently secured a $4.5 million investment from Jetapult to accelerate its growth. Through its strategic Invest & Operate model, Jetapult provides more than just financial support; it also equips gaming studios with access to top-tier game design expertise, publishing guidance, and cutting-edge AI tools, all aimed at fostering long-term success. UMX Studios worked closely with Jetapult’s experts, including Creative Director Angelo Lobo (renowned for his contributions to CSR2 and Farmville 2) and witnessed a 35%+ increase in user revenue (ARPDAU). The collaboration helped enhance the user’s multiplayer gameplay experience, balancing the game’s economy and social dynamics.
