Driveclub Hits Update 1.27

Today Sony’s Driveclub was patched yet again, possibly to lay the groundwork for their new DLC (see previous report) but also to make a few new tweaks and adjustments. For one thing, level caps have been raised by 25 for all modes, and achieving drifts can net you a larger score. The full patch notes from Evolution Studios are below.

• New Drift Mode scoring: Fast and precise drifts now earn much bigger scores. Going off track, driving slowly or colliding with walls will result in a penalty to prevent exploits.
• All Drift Mode leaderboards will be reset in the days following the update to ensure they offer a level playing field.
• 25 new Elite Levels have been added (new cap is 60).
• 25 new Driver Levels have been added (new cap is 120) with new livery rewards to unlock along the way.
• 35 new Club Levels have been added (new cap is 120) with new livery rewards to unlock along the way.
• The game menus have been updated with new ‪#‎PS4share‬ imagery to showcase some of our most loved #PS4share photo mode snaps. Keep them coming!
