Andy’s toy box has been thrown wide open once again, and some unexpected new faces are ready to race in Disney Speedstorm Season 14.
Disney Speedstorm’s Season 14, titled “No Toy Gets Left Behind!”, is officially live today on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
This huge, free update brings a trio of new Toy Story racers to the track, a brand-new event structure, and some fantastic free character unlocks for all players.
This new season aims to build on the game’s excellent racing foundations with a wealth of new content and features for fans to dive into.
A Masterful Racer, A Complicated Service
When Disney Speedstorm first left early access, we found it to be a fantastic but flawed experience.
In our 3.5/5 review, we called it a “masterful technical achievement and absolutely in the upper echelons of karting games,” but noted that it was “dripfed through a live service that couldn’t possibly let you have everything at once, and a series of currencies and unlocks that seem designed to bemuse.“
Season 14, with its focus on free character unlocks and a new, more continuous event structure, feels like a positive step forward, addressing some of those early concerns by offering more content and value to all players.
The New Toys in Town
Three iconic characters from the Toy Story universe are drifting into the action, each with their own unique skills and racing class.
Meet the New Racers
- Forky (Defender): Trash becomes treasure with Forky! His special move unleashes a rotating circle of garbage that protects him from hits. If an enemy collides with a piece of trash, Forky gets a small speed bonus.
- Lotso (Trickster): The big bear is here to slow down the competition. Lotso can mark rivals with a big bear hug, and when he activates his main power, he lets out a fearsome growl that slows down all marked racers.
- Emperor Zurg (Brawler): Evil has no bounds when Zurg is on the track. His charged attack fires a massive cluster of foam balls behind his vehicle, stunning any racers caught in its large radius.
More Friends on the Way
The new additions don’t stop there. The iconic duo of Chip ’n’ Dale are also confirmed to be coming to Disney Speedstorm as mid-season racers.
A New Way to Play (and More Free Stuff!)
Season 14 introduces some significant changes and additions to the overall game experience.
- Unfolding Tales Events – A brand-new event type, Tales Events, is being introduced. These events are designed to create a more continuous experience, combining both PvE and PvP objectives into a single event with a global reward track and a competitive leaderboard.
- Free for All – In a fantastic move for all players, two beloved Toy Story characters, Buzz Lightyear and Bo Peep, are now available to be unlocked for free by all players through the Season Tour rewards.
- Supercharged and Spooky – The roster of Supercharged Racers is also expanding, with Hercules, Elsa, EVE, Stitch, and Goofy all receiving boosted stats and progression. For fans of something a little spookier, The Nightmare Before Christmas Vault is also returning, giving players another chance to unlock Jack Skellington, Sally, and Dr. Finkelstein.
With more free characters and a new, more rewarding event structure, Season 14 is a significant step for Disney Speedstorm.
A race track featuring Forky, Lotso, and Zurg is an undeniably chaotic and compelling reason to jump back in and find out for yourself. The race is on!
And if you don’t yet own Disney Speedstorm? You can grab it for free from the likes of the Xbox Store.
