Disney Speedstorm is a free-to-play, cross-platform arcade racing game where you battle other players on tracks inspired by Disney and Pixar films.

Disney Speedstorm is a hero-based combat racing game featuring iconic Disney and Pixar heroes and villains re-imagined as high-speed road warriors, with racetracks inspired by their unique worlds. An incredible lineup of racers will include Captain Jack Sparrow, Mulan, Mickey Mouse, Sulley, the Beast and more, suited-up and revving up for racing action. Upgrade each racer’s stats and make the most of their unique skills, which can impact the outcome of a single race and dramatically change the way to play! 

From the docks of Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean to the wilds of The Jungle Book, and even racing on the Great Wall of China seen in Mulan or the Scare Floor from Disney and Pixar’s Monsters, Inc., players can experience these worlds from a fresh, exciting perspective geared specifically for racing! 

Players will be able to speed through action-packed tracks solo, or challenge friends in local and remote multiplayer modes, with Disney Speedstorm supporting cross-platform play. Additionally, the action never slows down thanks to fresh content always around the corner. New Disney and Pixar racers will be added regularly, and unique tracks will be released often, to pump fresh strategy into the mix.


Gameloft announced that, starting today, players worldwide can enter the PC Closed Beta for Disney Speedstorm

Available only on Epic Games Store and Steam, this limited time Closed Beta offers players the first opportunity to race and battle each other as iconic Disney and Pixar heroes and villains re-imagined to compete and battle each other on stunning tracks inspired by Disney and Pixar films.

The Disney Speedstorm Closed Beta begins on June 08, 2022, and during this time, players can upgrade and customize their characters and progress through the single player Adventure Map mode, and on weekends players can join in Online Ranked Races, where they can apply all their skills they’ve learned in the most competitive racing environment around! Leverage special grinding rails, combat items, and character’s unique abilities to be the first to cross the finish line.

In celebration of the Closed Beta rollout, ready-to-race versions of Hercules and Megara from Disney’s Hercules will also be joining the Disney Speedstorm roster of high-velocity racers. Both characters will be playable during the Closed Beta period, in addition to previously announced suited-up and race-ready characters including: Belle and the Beast from Disney’s The Beauty and the Beast, Mulan and Li Shang from Mulan, Captain Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swann from Pirates of the Caribbean, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck from Mickey & Friends, and Baloo and Mowgli from The Jungle Book.

“We are thrilled to get Disney Speedstorm into the hands of players for this Closed Beta, as this marks the first occasion for us to field valuable feedback from the gaming community.” said Aska Suzuki, Game Manager at Gameloft Barcelona. "We can't wait to see how players respond to this dynamic and exciting Disney and Pixar racing game, exploring how these characters are interpreted for this racing world, and fully playing cross-platform when we fully launch.”
