Driveclub Upgrade Policy Reversed by Sony

Sony has reversed its Driveclub upgrade policy to enable users to retain the game ever after their PlayStation Plus subscription ends. 

In a statement on the PlayStation Blog, the company commented: 

"Our priority for DRIVECLUB is to enable you to play and enjoy everything it has to offer and PlayStation recognises that the prior plan for DRIVECLUB entitlement for the upgrade to the PS Plus edition was not appropriate. As a result, we have adjusted the PlayStation Plus terms for DRIVECLUB.

"Now, If you intend on downloading DRIVECLUB PlayStation Plus Edition, and upgrading to the full game experience, you will have access to the full game even if your PlayStation Plus subscription runs out."

Previously, players who upgraded to the full game having downloaded the PS Plus Edition would not have retained access to Driveclub in the event that their subscription expired. 

The upgrade for Driveclub costs $49.99 which is $10 less than the normal price. Game director Paul Rustchynsky has insisted that Driveclub's PS Plus version will be more than a demo. 

Driveclub launches on October 8th on PS4.
