Update: The PlayStation Plus Edition of Driveclub is now free to download for subscribers on the PlayStation Store. You can find it here for Europe and here for those in America.
Happy racing!
It looks like the PlayStation Plus Edition of Driveclub going live on the US PlayStation Store yesterday was only a relatively minor false start, as Shuhei Yoshida was written on the PlayStation Blog that the much delayed release of this game is finally happening tomorrow, Thursday 25th June.
However, this is not quite as simple as flipping a switch and letting everyone play the game willy-nilly. No, this is a more gradual roll out, designed to ensure that we don’t see the same kind of problems that faced the game at its original launch in October of last year. While you will be able to download the PS+ version of Driveclub and play races offline, access to the online functionality will steadily expand over time.
How long that process takes, we’ll have to wait and see, but it’s good to finally see this tale of woe coming to an end.

I’ll probably wait a few months before I play this just to make sure I will have the best experience possible.

Servers will be switched off by then, the Plus demo won’t take long to complete.
Just kidding, but I doubt that there’ll be a repeat of the initial release problems due to volume influx…servers should cope without hesitation and added volume will be low methinks largely due to people fed up waiting and just buying the cut price full retail.

Most people without this will probably be enjoying Project Cars atm so plenty of time to switch on the online part before they’d be bothered.

With a few more cars .. And some server stability this game can compete with any good racer
