The tiered pricing for Disney Speedstorm will likely come as a surprise to those who’ve been following the game’s development. It was initially announced as a free-to-play game, but was later delayed out of 2022. During development, Gameloft simultaneously launched life simulator Disney Dreamlight Valley, which continues to experience great success in its early access period.
It’s likely the developer noted this success, and adopted a similar model for Disney Speedstorm as work on the game progressed. While a free version is still set to launch following this early access period, those keen to check out the new kart racer will need to fork out for a Founder’s Pack to preview all the high-speed action.
