The Disney-themed racing game Disney Speedstorm has officially changed their way of doing their battle pass. Gameloft has decided to make a change to their charging process for battle pass items according to GameRant. Many players aren’t very pleased with the developer’s decision either.
The free-to-play racing game has many different in-game purchases that players can make, mainly to buy more currency to buy more characters, power-ups, or more. However, one thing that was really cool about Disney Speedstorm is that it allowed players to use in-game currency that could be earned in the game to be able to purchase items included in the battle pass.
Season 7 will be beginning later in April, bringing Wreck-It Ralph characters, but with this update is when everything will change. Players will then be required to purchase battle pass content with real-life money instead of using the earnable currency. This news was announced to players through their website just yesterday, letting players know the battle pass content will cost a total of $9.99.
This change will begin later this month, and it has many players upset that they will be forced to either not have the content they want or spend quite a bit of money in the game. However, this could also be a positive as it will ensure the game stays alive longer as Gameloft will have more money and resources to make the game better and keep bringing new content.
Disney Speedstorm is avaliable on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
Gameloft has officially launched Disney Speedstorm season 7 “Sugar Rush” which introduces a wealth of new kart racing content based on Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph series.
Tekken 8 recently added a battle pass which locks new content behind a paywall, despite the base game retailing at $69.99 with a $30 season pass. It immediately proved controversial, dragging the Steam score down to 'mixed', and things have only gotten worse in the weeks since as it now sits at an even lower 'mostly negative'.
Disney Speedstorm always seems to be doing confusing things, but last week they kinda ticked off a lot of their fanbase. The developers of the game recently announced the theme of Season 7, which is Wreck-it Ralph, while right now we are still in Season 6 which is The Little Mermaid.
Gameloft has hinted at a possible U-turn over criticism it has received for future Disney Speedstorm season pass plans.
The latest season for Overwatch 2 finally allows players to permanently unlock and play as Venture, but fans have noticed that despite this new character playing a central role in the latest season, it seems they'll be getting an extremely slim pool of skins to choose from — for now, at least. Though Overwatch 2's Season 10: Venture Forth event does pack a long list of interesting skins for a wide variety of heroes, it appears these come at the cost of cosmetics for the drill-wielding damage hero.
Season 10 is coming with a multitude of new content, cosmetics, and quality-of-life changes to forever change the state of the popular hero shooter. With recent reports indicating that PvE, the entire reason for the sequel, is canceled, Blizzard has gone full steam ahead on optimizing PvP. Season 9 took the time to revamp the not-so-engaging ranked system from 's rough launch, implementing a new system that is more like the originals.
Gameloft's racing title Disney Speedstorm is going to start charging real money for battle pass items, and a lot of players are not happy with the developer. As a free-to-play kart racer, Disney Speedstorm offers some fun high speed gameplay, but the battle pass is getting a controversial change.
Overwatch 2 has just released its big blowout trailer for Season 10, named Venture Forth, which shares the name of the game's newest DPS hero, Venture. Players recently had the chance to go hands-on with Venture for a trial weekend, giving the Overwatch team an opportunity to see how the new hero performs live in-game. Venture will also be the firstnew Overwatch 2 hero to be unlocked automatically for everyone without requiring them to purchase the Battle Pass.
The community is in flames as an announcement from developer Gameloft regarding the game's monetization has prompted players to begin refunding any and all purchases. Released in 2023, the free-to-play race may not be a mainstream hit like its closest competitor but solid reviews and decent post-launch support have helped it establish a solid community of players who enjoy its take on kart-racing and Disney characters. Unfortunately, Gameloft has seemingly burnt many bridges after announcing that all future premium Golden Pass tracks will be locked behind real money.
Ubisoft has sparked a debate after announcing Star Wars Outlaws’ expensive gold and ultimate editions, which offer early access and a season pass, among other things.
Disney Speedstorm players have grown upset at developer Gameloft after it announced the premium track of its battle pass can only be purchased with real money going forward.
Disney Speedstorm‘s next season pass won’t allow players to purchase it using in-game currency, in a break from previous season passes.
