Initial Drift Online

Ingress

Initial Drift Online is an indie racing and drifting simulator released in 2020. As an indie title without a major publisher and few social media signals, its active player base is likely quite small, especially over three years after launch. Niche racing games without ongoing large-scale support or community events tend to maintain only a dedicated core group of players after the initial release period.

Ingress, developed by Niantic and originally supported by Google, was a highly influential AR mobile game released in 2013. While it was extremely innovative and had a strong global community at launch, its player base has significantly declined after the launch of Pokémon GO (also by Niantic) and competing mobile AR titles. The game still maintains a dedicated niche audience, especially for in-person events, but most estimates suggest a current daily active player base under 25,000 globally.
