In the ever-flooding stream of new game releases, some gems manage to capture our attention again, and DriftX is one such standout. Launched by UMX Studios, this game has swiftly climbed to the top of the charts in the Middle East, showcasing its undeniable appeal.

DriftX is a bold venture, promising not only the thrill of high-speed racing but also the chance to explore and compete in the expansive Saudi-Arabian desert. While it may not have the largest selection of vehicles, DriftX still offers over 20 cars that players can customize and upgrade to their heart's content.

The game caters to a variety of play styles with multiple modes including solo play, quick multiplayer matches, and custom setups. Whether you're aiming to dominate the street race challenge, exploring the vast map to discover random points of interest, or striving for the highest drifting score, DriftX has something for everyone.

The topic of investment in the gaming industry within the Middle East has been a hotbed of discussion for years.
