After Reaching 2 Million Sales, PS4 Racer Driveclub Gets Major Update

Following last month's news that PlayStation 4 racing gameDriveclub had sold more than 2 million copies, developer Evolution Studios on Tuesday released a major new update for the title.

Update v1.21 adds a new Sprint mode, new Elite Drive levels, and a new car--the Renault R.S. 01--when you reach level 66 (the overall cap has jumped to 75).

You can see this car in the video below, while the full patch notes follow.

The size of today's update is 500MB; this brings the total size of all Driveclub updates released so far to 11.3GB.

In addition, Evolution confirmed that it will add a free new car for everyone next week in the form of the Ferrari 488 GTB by way of another game update. Looking beyond that, Evolution said future updates will add new private multiplayer lobbies and more tracks. The developer is also working on a new version of the Driveclub app, and stressed that it's always listening to general feedback.
