The news comes courtesy of a tweet , and is likely a response to the reaction that greeted the news you'd only be able to play the upgraded PS Plus version of the game as long as your sub didn't lapse."UPDATE> If you have #DRIVECLUB PS+ Ed & upgrade, we'll ensure you keep full game access even if your PS Plus runs out," it reads.Originally planned to launch alongside the PS4, Driveclub was instead delayed until “early 2014” back in October, 2013. Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida attributed the delay to technical issues involving the game’s social features . It seems the issues may have been harder to solve than originally anticipated though, as by time the game releases it'll have been delayed for almost an entire year. Evolution Studios’ Col Rodgers, who was serving as game director on Driveclub, departed the UK Studio in February We'll have much, much more on Driveclub later today so, if you've got any burning questions you want answered, keep your eyes on IGN.
