The development team Evolution Studios and publisher Sony are announcing that a new update for DriveClub is now going live for all players, which is in part designed to introduce the changes required for the launch of the PS Plus version of the racing experience.

The official announcement on Facebook states, "The servers that provide Challenges in DriveClub are being replaced and upgraded. 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."

Events that are active when the update is deployed will be shut down and cannot be played on the new version of the servers.

The other tweaks that are being added to DriveClub can be seen by clicking on the button at the end of this blog post.

The PS Plus version of the title is designed to be offered for free to all those who are subscribing to the service offered by Sony.

The game will have the same core engine but a limited selection of both cars and tracks.

Since DriveClub was first introduced in 2014, the development team has been upgrading the server infrastructure and the core mechanics while also adding more supercars for players to work with, including a range of Lamborghinis.
