It'd be an understatement to say that Sony's exclusive social racer, DriveClub, has had its fair share of troubles, but despite its many issues, which saw release dates pushed back, server meltdowns, layoffs, and a public apology from Sony software boss Shuhei Yoshida himself, the game went double platinum over the weekend. 

The news was broken by game director Paul Rustchynsky on Twitter, who revealed that DriveClub actually reached the 2 million sales mark before the launch of the long-awaited PS+ edition in June. 

Rustchynsky went on to clarify that 2 million copies of the game have actually been sold, not just shipped.
