NamoPh Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 The answer to the title might not be as obvious as one would think, since you cannot download and install the DLC manually. Instead, it's already part of the game files, and the game has to authenticate to verify that your account owns it in order to unlock it. I can't help but worry that taking the servers offline will also disable that authentication. From what I understand the content unlock remains even after you go offline after the initial verification, but what happens if you have to play on a new system? I might be completely wrong on how this works, but just something to consider for whoever is postponing the offline portion of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quadboy_007 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) The 'licence for authentication' has nothing to do with the game's servers. This is a playstaion network thing. PSstore information: Online servers for DRIVECLUB™, DRIVECLUB™ VR and DRIVECLUB™ Bikes will shut down on 31 March 2020 (at 23.59BST). All online features (including online multiplayer modes) will cease on that date. You will still be able to play and enjoy these games in single player offline modes. However, the games have significant amounts of online gameplay so from 31 March 2020, functionality will be affected in the following ways: You will not be able to: • use your season pass online • represent your Club online in multiplayer events or tours • play online multiplayer and compete in challenges • create your own events • compete in leaderboards, or share stats and player progress You will be able to: • use your season pass on all single player and offline modes • continue to play all game (DRIVECLUB™, DRIVECLUB™ VR and DRIVECLUB™ Bikes) and DLC single player functionality in offline mode • earn trophies in single player / offline mode PlayStation® will cease selling DRIVECLUB™, DRIVECLUB™ VR, DRIVECLUB™ Bikes and all DLC and season passes related to those games from 31 August 2019 (at 23.59BST).
