Gameplay
Disney Speedstorm is a free-to-play kart racing game with a roster composed of characters from various Disney properties, such as the Mickey and Friends, Pirates of the Caribbean, Monsters, Inc., Toy Story and Beauty and the Beast franchises, among others, reimagined as race car drivers (referred to in-game as "Racers") in an in-universe arcade game also called Disney Speedstorm.
The gameplay is similar to Mario Kart. Racers can drift to improve their cornering and charge their nitro boost, which can only be used when the boost meter full. Racers also get a small drift boost from long drifts (indicated by their tires glowing blue), which also gives them an extra boost charge. Racers can sideswipe other Racers to knock them aside, jump to reach higher grounds or dodge obstacles, perform aerial stunts off designated jumps for a small speed boost upon landing, and grind on designated blue rails to also gain nitro boost.
Development
Disney Speedstorm is developed by Gameloft Barcelona, the developers of the Asphalt games 8: Airborne and Legends, and was designed to be a high-speed racing game based on Disney's franchises and characters. It was made using the same game engine Asphalt Legends used, Gameloft's in-house Jet Engine. Alexandru "Sasha" Adam, VP and studio manager, Gameloft Barcelona explained, "The gameplay mechanics, the racer abilities and the location design were all tailored to serve our vision of a fast and gripping competitive experience."
Announced in March 2023, the game was released in early access for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S on 18 April 2023. A trailer for the game was released on 9 September 2022 at the D23 Expo.
Reception
Disney Speedstorm received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic. 60% of critics recommended the game on review aggregator OpenCritic.
John Hansen of Push Square said while they had reservations with the free-to-play monetization, they thought the game had a lot of potential and summarised by saying "if you're a Disney fan, it's a good way to mash together some of your favorite old movies and battle it out on the racetrack."
