More Of Driveclub’s Features Coming Online In Next 24 Hours
Evolution Studios and Sony have provided an update on Driveclub’s troubled launch. As we reported last week, portions of the game’s feature set were removed and in order to facilitate server performance. Another update is planned for some time in the next day.
“Continual upgrades to the DRIVECLUB servers are building a steady increase in performance, meaning that we're getting more and more players connected,” Evolution writes on the Driveclub Facebook page. “The next server update is coming within 24 hours and will mean we can start to switch on more of the online features, so that you will be able to play more of DRIVECLUB online.”
No specific details are available about timing, which features will be re-enabled, or the way forward from here. “We are sorry that we don't have more concrete news to share right now, but please be patient,” the post continues. We will have more information for you tomorrow.”

Our Take
The last paragraph of the update doesn’t inspire much confidence. Driveclub fans should settle in for a bit, as it doesn’t sound like the next update will completely remedy the problems. We’ve still got an email out to Sony for more details on this morning’s report of possible compensation for those that purchased the game.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
