Driveclub’s dynamic weather update is now live

Remember the crazy impressive weather effects that Evolution Studios bragged about when Driveclub was in development and promised would be patched in at a later time? Well that time is now.

A rather large 1.4GB patch, bringing Driveclub to v1.08, has been pushed out and it includes several pieces of content, support for future add-ons and some amazing looking dynamic weather effects.

The game is actually on sale at Amazon for around $35 today so it may be worth looking into now that quite a few of the online issues that cropped up after launch have been resolved.
