DriveClub PS4

It’s alright to feel excited about DriveClub again: the PlayStation 4 exclusive racer finally works, and is getting better by the day. Seriously, while you won’t ever hear us excuse the title’s atrocious launch, the game is very much back on track now, with challenges finally working flawlessly, and the netcode as smooth as butter. The developer has even addressed some of the title’s more minor irritations, such as control quirks and user interface issues.

And the game’s improved yet again today as part of the title’s 1.4GB update. As promised, this adds inclement weather into the mix, which means that a white Christmas awaits. However, it does more than that, adding two free tracks to the title – Atlanterhavsvegen in Norway and Sinclair Pass in Canada – as well as a bunch of enhancements to the core experience, such as the ability to map acceleration to the right analogue stick.

We’ve included the full list of patch notes below, so do feel free to have a read through. Remember, you can download this update while you’re busy doing other things by putting your system into Rest Mode. There are more instructions on how to do that through here.
