DRIVECLUB PlayStation®Plus Edition includes:

• Every DRIVECLUB™ feature: from online multiplayer matches and challenges, to offline solo racing, Tour events, customisation, replays, Photo Mode and more.
• The option to create your own races with full control over the time of day and the weather.
• Access to all 13 tracks in India, one of six locations in DRIVECLUB™.
• 15 cars for your garage.
• A full set of 27 PlayStation® trophies, including the precious Platinum.

Ater a lot of hard work from the team at Evolution Studios, I’m pleased to announce that we are making the Driveclub PlayStation Plus Edition available to all PlayStation Plus members starting on Thursday, 25th June.

We’ve spent a long time preparing for this launch after some difficult and unexpected set-backs. To make absolutely certain that all players have the smoothest and most stable experience possible we are going to be duly cautious about how we release the game this time around.

Starting on Thursday, all PlayStation Plus members can download Driveclub PS Plus Edition and begin playing the offline mode. Also starting Thursday, we will be rolling out online access to the Driveclub PS Plus Edition and will steadily bring more and more players online while continuously ensuring that all game systems are running smoothly. We know that this might be frustrating after your extra wait already, but hope you can understand that we are taking extra precautions to protect your experience when you do get online. We want to make sure we don’t overload the servers as we invite millions of PS Plus members to download the game tomorrow.

We have to take this precaution because Driveclub connectivity is demanding for a multiplayer game, with countless ever-growing social connections across clubs, challenges, multiplayer, and hundreds of thousands of dynamic leaderboards and activity feeds.

Everybody will have full access to the offline mode of the Driveclub PS Plus Edition while this is happening and we will keep you fully up to speed via driveclub.com with updates on access as we bring everybody online.

Thank you to everyone who has stood by Driveclub during the past year and for everyone who has accepted the extra wait for the PS Plus Edition and the companion app which will come after. The team at Evolution Studios is working incredibly hard to make Driveclub great for you, to get everyone to have fun racing in clubs and continue the evolution of the game with spectacular updates every month. I can’t wait to see all of you enjoying the game online together.

[TheWorthyEdge]

[Mononoke]

So what was happening yesterday?

I'm out of the loop.

 

[SuicidalSteve]

Is this real life?

 

[crazyprac]

sony won post e3! /s

 

[mrklaw]

they don't specify 2015 - could be a trap.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

I wonder how long it'll be until everyone is online. Why didn't they just release the game last year with offline mode only if they aren't including online mode at launch anyway?

 

[SliceSabre]

I wasn't expecting this to ever come to fruition.

 

[iMax]

Last Guardian, FFVII, Shenmue III... And now this? Hold me, GAF.

 

[Black Republican]

Forreaaaaaaaal?

 

[Protome]

About time.
Game is pretty great but the handling is very love it or hate it. It's 100% definitely a game that needed at least a demo. This is of course better.

 

[TheAdmiester]

I wonder how long it'll be there for this time.

 

[RPGamer92]

[Skux]

Finally (again)! Welcome to Driveclub PS+ folks! Come for the graphics, stay for the racing.

 

[jello44]

So what was happening yesterday?

I'm out of the loop.

Premature Launchulation

Basically, they put it up on the store before it was supposed to go up.

 

[EGM1966]

So that leaves Half Life 3.

Pls Valve.

 

[Newtype-001]

EVERY DREAM HAS COME TRUE!!

 

[Ultranist]

too late
already got it used for 20$

 

[OléGunner]

inb4 corridor racer.

Enjoy the game guys!

It's an amazing racer.

 

[PeskyToaster]

I already have it since yesterday lol

 

[jmsony]

Yay on my birthday!!

 

[Nyx]

Good for the people in doubt, hope this version sells some more full versions, the game absolutely deserves it.

 

[PBY]

. Also starting Thursday, we will be rolling out online access to the Driveclub PS Plus Edition and will steadily bring more and more players online while continuously ensuring that all game systems are running smoothly

Lol its not even launching fully featured?

Annoying though this is, it's a good idea.

 

[MegaSackman]

Three times the charm.

 

[Nightengale]

Curious to find out if it's any different from the one I have right now for the past 8 months.

 

[Tomodachi]

Already got it and I'm glad I did.
I'm also glad many more people will be able to try this great racing game.

 

[Lady Siara]

Better late than early?

Give it a go if you're still interested. Most fun I've had with a racer in ages.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

hah
Try it out people. See the light.

 

[Seanspeed]

What does that mean they'll 'steadily bring on more online players'?

 

[Whitman's Ghost]

they don't specify 2015 - could be a trap.

Get yer GUNS BOYS AND GIRLS!

 

[urge26]

Very cool, want something to play on my PS4. Is DC comparable to PGR in any way?

 

[desu]

So what was happening yesterday?

I'm out of the loop.

Store team fucked up, not Evos fault.

 

[dmr87]

So, how many days late?

 

[Trogdor1123]

We have a good list of the content included and what's behind the pay wall?

 

[TheAdmiester]

Very cool, want something to play on my PS4. Is DC comparable to PGR in any way?

It's comparable in that it's a racing game with style points, but other than that, no.

 

[Loudninja]

What does that mean they'll 'steadily bring on more online players'?

Umm read the OP.

 

[Lgndryhr]

Smart decision. This should have been done in the first place. I, among many, suggested to roll it out with offline access and then slowly turn on online access.

 

[desu]

Very cool, want something to play on my PS4. Is DC comparable to PGR in any way?

Not the same, but maybe the closest you'll find any time soon

It's comparable in that it's a racing game with style points, but other than that, no.

Actually I've seen a lot of people mentioning PGR when talking about the game. It's obviously more sim like but still ....

 

[super-famicom]

Will it all work on Thursday?

 

[WITHE1982]

Planetside 2 and Driveclub both free* within 48 hours. Sony is the gift that keeps on giving. Great stuff. Driveclub is the real deal

* PS+ required

 

[BlackBuzzard]

What does that mean they'll 'steadily bring on more online players'?

Release the game per region or country i bet.

 

[braves01]

I hope the servers are ready.

 

[jackissocool]

What's the price to update to the full version? Better be sub $20.

 

[BigDug13]

Making an offline version of the PS+ edition. Shit they should have done months ago and was my first suggestion made when I heard about network problems being the reason for the delay.
