Driveclub reaches 2 million sold, gets major update

PS4’s Driveclub may have had a disappointing pre-launch, launch and post launch - but nowadays it’s a solid experience with its issues firmly in the rear view mirror (there’s the inevitable racing analogy out of the way).Developer Evolution Studios has worked tirelessly to fix issues, get the PS+ Edition released and add meaningful content to the game, so they should see the two million sold milestone as a just reward for their efforts - though one does wonder how much more the game would have sold if the launch went more smoothly.

PS4’s Driveclub may have had a disappointing pre-launch, launch and post launch – but nowadays it’s a solid experience with its issues firmly in the rear view mirror (there’s the inevitable racing analogy out of the way).

Developer Evolution Studios has worked tirelessly to fix issues, get the PS+ Edition released and add meaningful content to the game, so they should see the two million sold milestone as a just reward for their efforts – though one does wonder how much more the game would have sold if the launch went more smoothly.

In terms of adding meaningful content, the game has just received some great new stuff. Evolution has added sprint variations of tracks, which is a new mode to the game, they’ve added a couple more cars and more driver levels. Check out the patch details below:
