The Golf Club Pushed to Summer Release on Xbox One & PS4

[Steve_OS]

HB Studios has pushed the launch for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of The Golf Club to this summer. They will be showcasing the PC Early Access version (which is available now) at E3.

In case you missed it, we have some early impressions from the early access PC version here and plenty of talk in our Golf Forums.

Thank you for this update. Looking forward to some summertime PS4 golf!

Smart move on the part of HB Studios. They really need to make sure they've got the console versions right at release. Being a new franchise, people are going to likely to form a quick impression about it, and if the game is not up to snuff at release, a new audience isn't likely to pay it much attention after a patch or two.

I've read that the console versions are playing pretty much like the PC version right now. If that's the case, it needs at least another six weeks of work, IMO. They're still trying to get the swing mechanics and physics right. Once that's done, they've got to figure out a way to rid the game of some of the multiplayer lag it currently suffers from. The online Tours on Tournaments are likely to be more of a chore to implement than anyone imagines as well.

Well that sucks, but I'd rather have a game come out late than release early with bugs galore.

yes... but in this instance it isnt a well established franchise. This is their first shot at this game and their first shot on ps4/XB1

I am worried this is going to be a bad deal for them. If EA releases info at E3 of an upcoming golf game any momentum this game might have had could be gone.

Steve, can you cite a source for this news? I've seen nothing official on the HB Studios website or information channels.
