Studio closure makes Disney Infinity unplayable on PC

Fri, 05 Aug 2016 12:25:00 +1200

Those playing Disney Infinity on PC and mobile have mere weeks to get their money's worth, as the game will become completely unplayable both online and off from next month.

With the game's servers shutting down, all platforms will lose online functionality at some stage, but for some reason PC and mobile players will be unable to play offline as well. Those playing via Steam will lose access from September 30, and the game's Windows 8/10 versions will be unplayable from March 3, 2017.

The console versions of Disney Infinity will continue to operate as usual, with full access to figures and play sets. The only exceptions will be community content features and online multiplayer, which will cease from September 30.

Disney Infinity review

[i]Disney Infinity[/i] is okay but it could be so much more. It has a few gameplay shortcomings but its biggest flaw is its lack of heart. It feels more like a fan's attempt at each universe rather than the loving homage it could be.

Pixar seems to have a rule that its kid-friendly movies must be as enjoyable for grown-ups as they are for rugrats. After all, why shouldn’t those shuttling the wee ones to the theatre and back get something out of the experience other than a migraine? This has led to many adults anticipating the release of the Disney subsidiary’s films as much as any of the kids they are ostensibly aimed at. Unfortunately, Disney Infinity – which is essentially Pixar Infinity at this stage –does not possess the same cross-generational appeal.

Infinity functions much like arch-rival and inspiration Skylanders. The game’s Starter Pack comes with a USB base onto which toys are placed that appear in-game with a sparkle and a flourish. Co-op play is possible by placing two figurines at once, a power-up disc under each will confer certain in-game advantages in the form of skills or items, and there is a spot for a campaign cube as well.
