Driveclub Getting Another Update In The Next Day
Evolution Studios and Sony are still working to get Driveclub (our review) up to full operation. A new update touting several improvements should be available in the next 24 hours.
Sony hopes the update and related server upgrades will improve performance, as well as functionality for clubs and multiplayer gaming. Unfortunately, the diagnostics that are planned also have the potential to bump you offline. Evolution says it will attempt to minimize impact to players.
“We're glad that more of you are getting to play online but we are sorry that many players are still having a hard time getting connected,” the developer writes on its Facebook page. “We are working around the clock to improve connectivity and will keep you informed as we continue to make progress.”

Our Take
There’s not much that I haven’t already said about how poor the Driveclub launch has been. We’re still waiting on news of (possible) compensation for purchasers and the indefinitely delayed PlayStation Plus version.
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.
