DriveClub Update 1.16 Opens Road to FREE PS Plus Edition

It may finally be happening. Evolution has released a new update for DriveClub which will hopefully help make the PS Plus Edition of the game a reality. You can find the full patch notes below.

“The servers that provide Challenges in DRIVECLUB are being replaced and upgraded,” said Evolution on its Facebook page. “This will bring bigger, better challenges and improve server performance across the game as we continue to work to make the PlayStation Plus Edition of DRIVECLUB possible.”

“After the update and new servers go live, your Challenges and Event History will start afresh, so please schedule your challenges to end before 10am UK time on Monday 1st June. You can continue to play and create Challenges before the update but please understand that any events that are still active during the update will not continue on the new servers.”

The update is good news for those holding out to try the edition of DriveClub promised for PS4-owning PS Plus subscribers. Delayed, feared cancelled, thanks to DriveClub’s nightmarish launch, it seems Evolution is finally on track to deliver the scaled-down edition.

In addition to this, Evolution has also provided an update on the glitched Hoon-a-tic trophy, awarded for racking up over 1 million Drift Points. It’s still not popping for some players but the developer says a fix is coming this month.

“It's being fixed,” said Evolution is response to a query on FB. “We're testing the update that will change the way Drifting is recorded to make sure it will work for you. ETA is later this month, we will keep you updated.”
