Driveclub compressed down to 17GB for PS4

According to Driveclub's director, Paul Rustchynsky, the forthcoming PS4 exclusive game sports an install size of around 17GB. After announcing last week that the game has gone gold in preparation for its imminent release, Paul took to Twitter to answer questions from fans and relayed them this news

Paul further said that users will only need to download the first 3.5GB of the game in order to start playing, while the rest will be managed in the background.

The DLC plans for drive club was recently announced by Evolution Studios, which featured content that will be released periodically, both free and paid until next year till June. Starting in October, the DLC will include 11 new tracks with 23 routes and a new car each month. Driveclub releases on October 7 in North America, October 8 in Europe and Australia, and October 10 in the UK.

In other news, Fred Dutton, the PS Blog manager confirmed some interesting news regarding the PS Plus Edition of the racing game. It seems that the Plus edition won't be counted as part of our regular PS Plus allocation for the month even though it was coming alongside the regular version of the game in October. This means that we should still expect another two PS4 games to be available next month for all those who subscribed.

With #DRIVECLUB having gone gold I get plenty of questions about the install size. We managed to compress it to just ~17GB in the end :)
