A Disney Speedstorm Android release is on its way. The gacha racing game was released into Early Access for PC and consoles in April, with its sights on a full release in the Fall. Now, we’ve got wind that mobile platforms will get a piece of the pie.
There’s no Android or Google Play icon on the official site, but on the Gameloft SE account, you can find a Google Play listing for none other than Disney Speedstorm, along with a glimpse of a pretty-looking touch-screen UI.
We’ve even heard tell of a soft launch in a few locations, though we’ve not found any hard proof about where and when these are running, and Gameloft appears fairly quiet on the matter.
So what have we been missing? Well, Disney Speedstorm is a multiplayer racer with some gacha elements.
You take to the road as one of the numerous different beloved characters from Disney’s wide array of franchises. Characters have different stats, and different special moves they can deploy on their enemies.
This isn’t a straight race. You can pick up items and deploy they on unsuspecting opponents to reverse their controls or send them veering across the road. The aggression doesn’t end there, either. The game features a surprisingly brutal ramming mechanic that encourages you to slam into anyone in your way.
These races take place over a wide variety of Disney-themed tracks. Some of these come with their own hazards.
There’s the chance of hitting the water or getting swatted by sea monsters in the Pirates Of The Caribbean track, or you could get hit by a rubber hose-style train on the track that harks back to Disney’s vintage shorts.
All in all, the game looks cutesy, but it’s not completely for the faint-hearted. We’ll soon see how well touchscreen controls serve the gameplay once Disney Speedstorm Android arrives.

There are many debates in the video game space that are likely never to be settled. But one of the biggest is the question of “console exclusivity.” Simply put, many gamers don’t like that numerous big-name franchises are either rooted on one console or are unlikely to get ported to other systems until much later. A great example of this is Final Fantasy 16. The game by Square Enix was released on PlayStation 5 recently and will stay there for many months until it is ported to PC. It won’t go to Xbox or Nintendo. But one of the game’s producers wishes things were simpler.
After the vague announcement of what seemed like little more than a licensing agreement earlier this year, we now know that TMNT: The Last Ronin is in development for PC and next-gen consoles under publisher THQ Nordic.
A studio that handled Baldur’s Gate III translations has apologized after outsourced workers were omitted from the game’s credits. "We take full responsibility for this omission of our freelancers' names and apologize for the effects that it had," Altagram Group founder and CEO Marie Amigues said in a statement. "We would like to thank Larian for allowing us to quickly fix that error and update the credits section. The names of the Brazilian Portuguese translators will be included in an upcoming patch to the game."
Game localization company Altagram has issued a lengthy apology for failing to credit its translators for their work on Baldur's Gate 3.
Localisation company Altagram has issued an apology after it emerged that some of the staff who contributed to Baldur's Gate 3 translation had not been credited.
Baldur's Gate 3 launched earlier in August with various members of its localisation team missing from the credits, but the blame lies with the localisation company and not developer Larian Studios.
Baldur's Gate 3 is seemingly the latest high-profile release to launch with an incomplete set of credits.
Today, 2K has released its first release for player ratings for NBA 2K24. The game is slated to release on September 8 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC. With the cover athlete being granted to Kobe Bryant and four different versions available that include the NBA 2K24 25th Anniversary Edition, NBA 2K24 Black Mamba Edition, NBA 2K24 Kobe Bryant Edition, and the NBA 2K24 WNBA Edition, none of the actual top players will be gracing this year’s title from the NBA. There are twelve initial reveals that range from a 98 overall down to a 94, so there will not be a 99 overall player at launch.

Oh, and possibly, dear. If you were hyped up after all those rumours about a Red Dead Redemption remake then you are going to be disappointed as although the game has been announced it is for Switch and PS4 only. This is not a remake, this is not a 60fps 4K version for modern consoles, this is the old game but running on new consoles. Well, a ten year old console in the case of the PS4.
