Gameloft has announced Disney Speedstorm is getting delayed into 2023, forgoing its previously planned 2022 release.
Reasoning behind the delay is to further polish the title so it can “meet expectations” and provide players a more immersive racing experience, customization offerings, game modes, and more.”
When the game does release, it’ll be available across Windows PC (via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
Here’s a rundown on the previously announced game:
