Disney Speedstorm’s Season 2 is Toy Story themed

The “To Infinity And Beyond” season once again plunders the instantly-recognisable Disney back catalogue of characters, bringing with it some of the most famed Toy Story characters:

• Racers Woody
• Buzz Lightyear
• Jessie
• Bo Peep

The update also includes a new track, Andy’s Room. There are strong hints of a Hot Wheels Unleashed level, mashed with a strong nostalgia for the original PlayStation Toy Story game.

There are two new game modes too. Color Match will see all competitors turn either purple or green, and the aim is to hit matching skill boxes. Meanwhile, in Follow the Leader, vast quantities of manual boost are granted for staying in the slipstream of rivals.

Mid-season, two first racers will hit the karts, with Steamboat Mickey and Steamboat Pete inspired by the Steamboat Willie animated short.

Of course, there will be dozens of customizable cosmetic items to unlock through the game’s pass system – who doesn’t have one of those these days? Disney Speedstorm is in a form of controversial paid-for early access via founders packs, before going free-to-play at a later date.

Season 2 is available now and also includes the following quality-of-life changes.
