We continue to sum up the outcomes of 2024 with teams that are gaming or related to the gaming industry. Next up is an interview with Dmitry Fokin, CEO of the CarX Technologies studio.
How was the year for the company? What achievements would you like to highlight?
The year 2024 turned out to be better for us than 2023, both in terms of revenue and profit.
We successfully launched CarX Street on the PC platform and CarX Drift Racing 3 on mobile platforms.

These releases were not easy for our company, but in the end, the audience warmly received our projects.
We didn't achieve all the goals we set, but we hope that our accomplishments this past year will enable us to realize our plans for the future.

From your perspective, how has the situation in the gaming market changed?
From our perspective, the situation has changed slightly over the year. Players still look forward to good games and play them without paying much attention to the developer's name or reputation. Players' expectations are gradually rising, but the gaming market remains a developer's market, not a player's market.
How was the year for the genre in which you work?
In 2024, several good projects in the racing genre were released. We watch these games with curiosity and are glad that players are receiving quality content. We anticipate the global release of Need for Speed Mobile and the launch of JDM: Japanese Drift Master on Steam.

What strengthening or emergence of trends in your niche do you expect in 2025?
We expect more open-world racing games in 2025, with more detailed management of in-game world objects (garages, car parks, parts, economy, etc.).
The boundary between racing and role-playing games will become increasingly indistinct.
What are the company's plans for the coming year?
In 2025, we plan to release CarX Street on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. We also aim to prepare the release of CarX Drift Racing 3 on the PC platform.
We wish players patience in waiting for great projects and developers the best in producing quality releases.
