Shuhei Yoshida, Sony’s president of worldwide studios, would like to an offer an apology to fans burned by the problematic launch of socially-connected PlayStation 4 racer Driveclub,but that doesn’t mean that there is good news about the release.
“[T]he road to launch has been a little rocky, and we are truly sorry that so many of you have not been able to enjoy everything that we had hoped Driveclub would deliver,” Yoshida writes in a Facebook status update. He then claims that Sony has dedicated additional resources to fixing Driveclub’s connectivity issues, but warns fans that there is currently no estimate for when the game will work properly.
From there things only get worse. “With the high volume of new players and additional server load the PS Plus Edition is anticipated to bring, we are currently not confident that we can guarantee the best online experience,” Yoshida adds. “Until we can ensure that everyone can enjoy the full social connected online experience, we will be postponing the release of the PS Plus Edition until further notice.”
For those keeping score at home, the free-to-play PS Plus Edition that Yoshida mentions was originally slated to launch alongside Driveclub on October 7.
