Driveclub‘s messy launch has still not been entirely cleared up, though developer Evolution Studios says it’s “steadily improving connectivity for everybody” as it adds new multiplayer events for those who can play the game online.
The latest update on its attempts to resolve issues that have hampered the game since launch makes note of everyone’s frustration, but asks fans to “please understand that we are doing everything we can to get all aspects of online play up and running smoothly as quickly as possible.”
More servers for the game continue to come online, and Evolution says regular server updates are going out, too. The company recently claimed that the “majority” of players are now able to connect to the game’s servers, which is necessary for accessing many of Driveclub’s features. Those who are able to connect will now find new events that are available in multiplayer, as well as “more variety when you choose to race with and against other drivers online.”
“We will keep you up to date as we improve server performance for all aspects of online play,” the studio says. “Thank you again for your support while this work continues.”
There is still no word on when we’ll be seeing the free version for PlayStation Plus members. The Plus Edition was to offer a limited slice of the game; while you’d have access all features, only certain cars and tracks would be playable without upgrading to the full version (priced at $50 for Plus members). Earlier this week, Evolution said it had no “concrete info” on when it would be released. It was originally expected out alongside the full game on October 7, only to be delayed due to server issues.
