Surely a kart racer game is a crowd-pleaser. Gameloft expects this with the release of Disney Speedstorm. After Dreamlight Valley, this year will see the release of the next major Disney/Pixar crossover.
You’ll be happy to know that the kart-racer is entering an open early access period in April before its official release.
Play as Mickey Mouse, Hercules, or Mike Wazowski and race across locations inspired by Disney and Pixar movies. The likes of Pirate Island (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Jungle Ruins (The Jungle Book) have previously been announced.
If you’re as excited as we are to race as your favorite Disney and Pixar characters on tracks based on some of the studios’ most beloved movies, then this should all sound pretty thrilling.
The Disney Speedstorm release date, early access details, where to pre-order, and a complete cast list can all be found below. We’ve included a handful of trailers so you can see the game in action.

What Gaming Platforms Does Disney Speedstorm Run on?
Disney Speedstorm may be played on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox One X, and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store). This kart racing game is available to everyone because it is totally free.
Disney Speedstorm Gameplay and Story Details
The game Disney Speedstorm can be played without spending any money. Early access begins on Tuesday, April 18, and can be accessed by pre-ordering and purchasing Founder’s Packs. Nevertheless, the game will be made available to everyone for free later in the year.
Disney Speedstorm puts you in control of Disney and Pixar characters as you compete in kart races across environments taken from popular animated features. Imagine Mario Kart, but with Disney characters.
It’s possible to play the game solo or with friends, either online or in a local LAN (local is limited to two players on PS4, Xbox One, and Switch, but four players can join in the fun on the other platforms). One catch, though: you’ll need a constant internet connection to play. The Internet is truly a universal platform.
Many game types are available, such as the “Starter Circuit,” “Season Tour,” “Boss Challenge,” and others. When the game is finally out, we’ll have a tonne of content to experiment with.
In order to give your racer a performance boost, you can equip it with one or more Crew Members. It seems that four Crew Members can be fastened to a racer at once.
But, given that it’s free to play, there will likely be some hoops to jump through before gaining access to other characters, Crew Members, and so on. You can get tokens for free if you meet certain requirements, but you can also pay real money to have them. The Golden Pass (the game’s version of a Season Pass) grants access to new racers and other benefits.
As we get closer to the game’s complete release later this year, we’ll find out more details about all of this and what you start with.
