Fans of Driveclub can celebrate the release of a new update today, which brings with it a free car, a free new tour, and the addition of multiplayer replays.
Weighing in at 2.69GB, the update offers players an all new vehicle to drive around the game's host of tracks–the Ferrari LaFerrari. Try saying that name five times fast. The new car is accessible once you complete Rank 5 of the "Ferrari Owners Club" Driver Accolade, so it's not like you get it for free from the get-go.
The game's developer Evolution has promised to upgrade the servers to improve online play, and pave the way for the imminent release of the PlayStation Plus Edition of DriveClub.
The developer also asks players to look forward to new ranks and rewards in the coming months.
Here's what the patch notes say:
- Adds the Ferrari LaFerrari to your Garage! Complete Rank 5 of the “Ferrari Owners Club” Driver Accolade to earn access to this car for use in all areas of the game
- Adds the Startline Tour. All new players will now jump into a brand new Tour when they first play the game called Startline
- The Startline Tour is available for free and features 11 events and 45 objectives. This Tour mainly serves as a varied and well balanced introduction to DRIVECLUB and is based on some of the most popular and entertaining events from elsewhere in the game
- Adds Multiplayer Race Replays to the game. You can now save a Replay at the end of any Multiplayer Race and view it later from the Replays menu
- Adds a new Audio Settings option to change the acoustic settings for all cockpit cameras, so that you can change between internally recorded sound or externally recorded sound
- Adds a new Single Event option to set “Time Of Day” for a Single Event to half past every hour as well as on the hour
