Seems the patch (v1.28) containing the DRIVECLUB VR-exclusive urban-themed tracks has been released for the original game:

The Urban Tracks update for #DRIVECLUB rolls out today, bringing tracks from #DRIVECLUBVR to the standard edition. Update now & get racing

Patch size seems to be 5.9 GB. Don't have any further information about the type of tracks or the amount of new content. Any DRIVECLUB VR owner, feel free to pitch in!

[Jarod McChicken]

Ah yes, I have the update 1.28 here (France) thanks !

 

[valkillmore]

Now put out that 60fps update we all know is possible! Lol seriously though this is awesome

 

[pswii60]

Do we know who is developing this stuff following the closure of Evolution?

 

[GinoFelino]

Too bad. I was hoping they'd combine this with a barebones Pro patch.

Not to sound ungrateful, by the way. This is a fantastic show of support.

Do we know who is developing this stuff following the closure of Evolution?

I think it's ex-Evo guys freelancing or some shit. Rushy worked on it, at least.

 

[Rap2thaMoon]

I think it's still Evolution, Codemaster are their new owners.

then everyone would complain about how bad the graphics are like they do for the VR version

"a dedicated team comprised of Evolution Studios veterans, several of which now are also members of the WWS Immersive Technology Group"

Interesting. Great to see it's being kept alive and shows Sony's commitment to the IP. Although no idea who would develop the sequel.

 

[Gandalf]

Thanks for the support Rushy. You guys made a great game. Looking forward to your next project!

 

[Nyx]

Very nice, going to check them out right now.

Just found out Rushy's first job in the gaming industry was working for Codemasters and now he's back.

 

[Hackbert]

mhh interesting. are there any screenshots of the updates yet?

 

[Eggbok]

Driveclub to overtake the console screenshot thread confirmed.

 

[Savantcore]

Expecting screenshots to highlight just how bad Driveclub VR looks in comparison

VR isn't horrendous and it does shimmer, BUT I still prefer it to playing on my TV, the immersion is worth the loss in fidelity.

Rushy and Co. are a boon to this industry *salute*

 

[panda-zebra]

Farewell!

 

[Arturo]

Farewell!

This makes me sad…

 

[Vaga]

The game that kept on giving. Farewell you magnificent bastards!

 

[Nyx]

Man I love that Ashii track, great use of elevation and turns.

 

[darthsontin]

So much content in this game. It's too bad history will only remember the terrible launch of it.

 

[jobrro]

Farewell!

Well that's sad. I bought the game at launch and later the season pass. I did my best Evolution.

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Well that's sad. I bought the game at launch and later the season pass. I did my best Revolution.

You just forgot their name

 

[GinoFelino]

So much content in this game. It's too bad history will only remember the terrible launch of it.

Neah...racing fans will remember it fondly.

I know I will.

Day one for your new game, Evo <3

 

[Serious Sam]

Does that mean the game will never receive a PRO patch? It's a bit strange they worked so long on all these tracks only to stop before making a PRO patch.

 

[jobrro]

You just forgot their name

Autocorrect I swear!

 

[valkillmore]

Time & money say no

 

[Z3M0G]

Farewell!

Oh wow!

Thank you for all the support! Bravo!

Driveclub will likely be the only racing game I need all gen.

Edit: I would like this mentioned in the thread title somehow.

 

[paragonpro]

I cant wait to jump back into this game when my pro comes in. Its a really solid racer and I love the event progression, and the gorgeous look of it.

 

[The Last Wizard]

So much content in this game. It's too bad history will only remember the terrible launch of it.

And it wasn't even that bad, people make it seem like the game didn't work at all when it was jut the multiplayer portion that was broken.

 

[EvilKatarn]

Farewell indeed. Hoping I can check the tracks out tomorrow.

One of those instances where voting with my wallet certainly didn't work. Bought everything at full price and here we are.

 

[JigglesBunny]

then everyone would complain about how bad the graphics are like they do for the VR version

Those complaints are totally justified though, DCVR is a disaster in the IQ department. First VR game I couldn't play because of how it looked. Yuck.

 

[NeoRausch]

Farewell!

&#128549;

Thanks for the game and all the fish!

 

[black070]

Farewell!

Farewell old friend, you'll never be forgotten.

 

[tusken77]

Well that's sad. I bought the game at launch and later the season pass. I did my best Evolution.

Me too. Still in my top 3 games of the generation. A game so good, I bought it twice. Physical copy at launch. Then the digital version because I needed it on the XMB at all times because I was playing it so much. Then the season pass with all its incredible content.

DCVR will obviously be my first game purchase when I get my headset.

 

[Neuromancer]

Farewell, you beautiful bastards.

I expect great things from them at Codies.

 

[SmartWaffles]

Bought the last two car DLC (which you can earn in game) and a pack of fame boosters as thanks for the prolonged support for this magnificent game.

 

[Always-honest]

Thank you and best of luck!

 

[GinoFelino]

Yeah the Farewell thing looks pretty final

Yes it is getting a Pro patch whether this is just for VR or not we don't know as Rushy wasn't specific

https://twitter.com/Rushy33/status/780421653012570112?ref_src=twsrc^tfw

We haven't harnessed the full power of the PS4 Pro, but there will be a few more visual details enabled.

ONE LAST HURRAH

ONCE MORE AROUND THE BEND

 

[v1lla21]

Farewell Evo, can't wait to play your next game under codemasters:')

I don't care about trophies but when heard the sad news, I decided to platinum the game as a thank you for your tremendous support when it came to fixing the game and all the great dlc that came after release. DriveClub will forever stay as my top racing game this gen. Thank you

 

[the TMO]

What is the way to get all the content? game + season pass?

Holy shit.

DC on the Pro is gonna be pure bliss~~~

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

What is the way to get all the content? game + season pass?

Game + Season Pass + 2 smaller expansions (No Limits & Finish Line) I think it was.

Bikes is also standalone if you wanted that.

Holy shit.

DC on the Pro is gonna be pure bliss~~~

Remember though that this was in relation to a VR question, so we know that's a given, as for vanilla DC we've not heard anything about that unfortunately.

Thanks! Clarified!

Its just for Driveclub VR doubt the standard game will get any sort of Pro patch

From the wording it feels like just the VR version due to many visual effects from the regular version being disabled in the VR version. The VR version could probably use a resolution bump, but I feel the game doesn't look as bad as some people say on original PS4. Some people talk about it like it is PS1 graphics or something. Would still very much welcome even just a resolution bump on the original, but won't hold my breath.

The game had a rocky launch with online stuff being down but post launch support and added content has been phenomenal. Add in an amazing season pass and this title was fantastic value. Even at launch it wasn't that bad, services were down but it didn't stop you from playing.

He's replying to someone asking about Pro support for Driveclub VR so I'd assume it's just for that.
