Those who have been eagerly awaiting for the PlayStation Plus Edition of Evolution Studios’ PS4-exclusive racer, Driveclub, might be disappointed to know that Sony has no definite date of release as they continue to work on plaguing server issues.

In a Facebook statement Issued by The President of Sony World Wide Studios, Shu Yoshida, the company apologized for the inconvience and stressed about the server connection issues that have been plaguing Driveclub since release.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to provide you with the latest update on DRIVECLUB. Unfortunately, the road to launch has been a little rocky, and we are truly sorry that so many of you have not been able to enjoy everything that we had hoped DRIVECLUB would deliver.

We have been listening to your feedback and realize that patience understandably is running out. Evo is working around the clock to close the gap, and we have deployed additional engineering resources to help resolve the remaining issues as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the time frames required to roll out the fully connected experience will be longer than anticipated and we do not have an exact time frame for when they will be resolved. We will continue to update you on progress and you can find the latest info on the DRIVECLUB Facebook page.

We are also very conscious that we have disappointed so many of you who were looking forward to playing the promised PS Plus Edition. Our first priority is to provide you with the best possible experience while playing DRIVECLUB. With the high volume of new players and additional server load the PS Plus Edition is anticipated to bring, we are currently not confident that we can guarantee the best online experience. Until we can ensure that everyone can enjoy the full social connected online experience, we will be postponing the release of the PS Plus Edition until further notice.

On behalf of WWS we are enormously grateful for your patience and we thank you for the continued support and encouragement. Again, we sincerely apologize for the delay. We are committed to giving you the best racing experience on PS4 – it’s taking a little longer than we hoped.

Thanks,

Shu

This certainly isn’t what many wanted to hear, as the game had originally been planned as a PS4 launch title, only to be delayed at a later date and then launch with issues. Keep your sights on MP1st for more updates.
