Driveclub's Free PS4 Version Being Removed Soon

The free version of PlayStation 4 racing game Driveclub will be removed from the PlayStation Store soon, Sony announced on Wednesday as part of the reveal of October's free PlayStation Plus games.

Driveclub's PS Plus edition will be yanked on October 6, Sony said, though the company did not provide any kind of explanation as to why this is happening. The game didn't have a very long life, as it was released only a few months ago in June. The free version was supposed to launch alongside the game in October 2014, but was delayed until Sony could fix the game's initial server issues.

Game director Paul Rustchynsky says on Twitter that Sony makes the decisions regarding PS Plus content, not Evolution. Asked if the game is being removed so that something "more substantial" could take its place, the developer said, "I don't know, we're not involved in what is featured on PS+."

Despite getting off to a tough start, Driveclub has now sold more than 2 million copies. In addition free tracks and more updates coming soon, developer Evolution Studios has teased that it has major plans for the game in the coming year, including "big surprises" to be announced later.
