Earlier this year, Driveclub developer Evolution Studios was closed by its parent company Sony. This was part of a wider restructure to Sony's European studios. Codemasters, the developer of the Dirt, Grid, and F1 series of racing games, later hired devs from Evolution Studios.

PlayStation VR's release date has been confirmed as October 13, 2016, and it will retail for $399. Sony has not said whether DriveClub VR will be a PlayStation VR launch title in other territories.

Retailer GameStop sold through its entire allocation of PlayStation VR preorder units "within minutes" of them becoming available. Sony has warned there will likely be ongoing shortages.
