10 Video Games That Fixed Themselves Too Late

Driveclub was announced the very same day that Sony unveiled the PS4 for the first time, and after initially being planned as a PS4 launch title, it eventually ended up releasing almost a year later in October 2014.

Despite Evolution Studios talking-up its groundbreaking online connectivity features, Driveclub launched with major online issues from the jump, with players unable to even connect to the game's servers, let alone actually compete against others.

Driveclub quickly became a laughing stock among gamers, and its connectivity issues weren't fully fixed until many months after its launch.

To Evolution's credit, they consequently festooned players with heaps of free updates, adding dynamic weather among other requested features, ultimately supporting the game with patches for over 18 months, even releasing a final patch many months after Sony had actually shuttered the studio.

In the years following its launch, Driveclub had evolved into a genuinely strong racing game, though only the hardcore faithful stuck around to figure this out, while most moved on to one of the many other racing games released in its wake.

Driveclub was ultimately delisted from PSN last summer, and its servers are set to close on March 31 of this year.
