DriveClub PS4

DriveClub’s launch has hardly been vintage, but at this point we’re rooting for developer Evolution Studios to resolve the issues – primarily because we’ve been playing the game offline, and reckon that it’s a lot better than some of the early reviews would lead you to believe. Fortunately, the title has been slowly improving, with more people able to get online over the course of the past 48 hours or so. Of course, it’s still far from ideal.

Thankfully, a new patch – dubbed v1.03 for those keeping count – promises to enhance things further, by implementing “several game-side fixes to reduce server load”. According to game director Paul Rustchynsky, this will help the firm to resolve the online issues that have plagued the title since Tuesday – and, ultimately, will help it to deploy that long overdue PlayStation Plus version that everybody’s been waiting for.

The update also tweaks a handful of other things, like crashing and club corruption errors. So, the game’s still not out of trouble yet, but it does appear to be moving in the right direction at last. That’s good news if, like us, you’re looking forward to actually playing this properly at some point.
