Vor Kurzem gaben die Evolution Studios ein neues Statement zur Playstation Plus Version von DriveClub ab, dass aber den wenigsten gefallen dürfte. Einen genauen Termin für die Version, die eigentlich Anfang Oktober zum Launch des Rennspiels hätte erscheinen sollen, gibt es immer noch nicht.
Über Twitter gab man auf die Frage eines Fans bekannt, dass man sich dem Ganzen nähern würde, es aber immer noch viele Server-Verbesserungen zu bewerkstelligen gelte, bevor man die Test-Version veröffentlichen könne. Das sich die PS+ Version aber wirklich nähert, das verrät der Ausblick auf die kommenden Updates zu DriveClub.
Neben zahlreichen Verbesserungen, neuen Modi, Strecken und Wagen ist bei den Patch-Notes auch die Rede von Server-Verbesserungen, um die Version ermöglichen zu können. Unter anderem werden zukünftig auch private Lobbies ins Spiel integriert. Nächste Woche erscheint aber zunächst Update 1.11.
Update 1.11 is coming next week, here are the full details...
