PARIS, FRANCE – March 16, 2023 – Gameloft, a leader in the development and publishing of games, announced that Disney Speedstorm, the upcoming cross-platform arcade combat racing experience developed by Gameloft Barcelona, races into Early Access via Founder’s Pack purchase on April 18 on Nintendo Switch ™, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PlayStation®4 (PS4™), PlayStation®5 (PS5™) and PC.
Pre-orders for Disney Speedstorm Founder’s Packs are available now on the Nintendo eShop, Microsoft Store, and Epic Games Store worldwide and starting March 20 on PlayStation Store. In addition to Early Access to Disney Speedstorm on April 18, players that pre-order a Founder’s Pack will also receive exclusive rewards for everyone’s favorite feathered racer, Donald Duck - the Toontech Early Bird kart livery and Early Bird racing suit. Steam users can Wishlist the game beginning today and purchase any of the Founder’s Pack starting on April 18 to receive the Donald Duck cosmetics as a First Week Bonus.
Founder’s Packs – available in Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate Tiers – grant players early access to Disney Speedstorm along with opportunities to unlock and race with some characters in local races from the moment they first log in. Racers that have been unlocked via a Founder’s Pack can also be upgraded through the use of several items included in each pack, for local and online play.
During its Early Access phase, Disney Speedstorm will offer both single-player and multiplayer local and online modes, leaderboards, an in-game shop, and much more. In single-player mode, players will be guided through the Season Tour narrative which also serves as a jumping-off point to progress through each Season’s story. Each season offers new Disney and Pixar characters, karts, tracks, and more through local and online gameplay, giving racers plenty to be excited for in the coming months. More competitive players can jump into Disney Speedstorm’s multiplayer modes, which include Local Freeplay, Private Track, Ranked Multiplayer with leaderboards and Regulated Multiplayer - a race mode that allows players to race head-to-head on an even playing field.
“We’re eager for fans to start their engines by joining us on the Disney Speedstorm racetracks throughout Early Access and battle each other as iconic racers on stunning tracks inspired by Disney and Pixar films,” said Aska Suzuki, Game Manager at Gameloft. “We can't wait to hear our community’s feedback and to work together to create a game that is reactive to the needs and wants of the players as we plan to offer a constantly evolving racing experience.”

Golden Pass Credits can be used by players to unlock the premium tier of the Golden Pass that grants access to an extra layer of Seasonal rewards like liveries, suits, currencies, racers, and much more. During Early Access, new themed Seasons, each with a free and premium tier of rewards, will be added to the game every 6-8 weeks bringing new Disney and Pixar-related content like racers, unique tracks, and challenges.
