Timelines for the cessation of various Disney Infinity online services were published over the weekend, nearly a month after Disney announced plans to abandon its toys-to-life franchise, but the good news is fans still have several months to download their favorite Disney Infinity creations.
Over the weekend, in-game purchases were pulled from the PC and mobile versions of Disney Infinity 2.0 and the Disney Infinity 3.0. The only version that still allows purchases is the Steam release of DI3 . Mobile versions of Disney Infinity 2.0 and Disney Infinity 3.0 will be taken offline on Sept. 30, 2016 and subsequently removed from app stores. The Apple TV versions of Disney Infinity will also be pulled. Players will still be able to play the Steam versions; however, Disney says community features and online services for both 2.0 and 3.0 will be unavailable.
The end of September also marks the point when Disney Infinity’s community team will stop reviewing new Toy Box submissions. The servers will stay up for several months but players won’t have any way to share their creations, other than Twitch/YouTube, after Sept. 30. And that’s just the start of a long, slow death.
On Jan. 3, 2017, in-game purchases will be pulled from the Windows 8 and Windows 10 ports of Disney Infinity. Two months later, on March 3, all Windows and Apple TV versions will “ no longer be available, supported or playable. ” Players will never lose access to the console or Steam versions of Disney Infinity; however, all remaining online services will be shuttered March 3 . And it sounds like those dates could change because Disney is asking fans to “check the Disney Infinity website frequently” over the next eight months for schedule adjustments.
