Disney Infinity’s servers are shutting down

Disney Interactive is shutting down online services for its toys-to-life video game Disney Infinity over the course of the next eight months, removing in-game purchases and ending support for the games’ community features. As part of the shutdown, some versions of Disney Infinity will be removed from various online stores and will no longer be playable as of September.

In an email sent by Disney Interactive today, the company outlined its plans to end online service for Disney Infinity. Some of those changes go into effect today; Disney has already ended in-game purchases in the PC version of Disney Infinity 2.0 and the Android, Apple TV and iOS versions of the game.

Disney says the console versions of Disney Infinity "will continue to operate as usual with full access to figures and play sets only with the exception of community content features and online multiplayer." Players will be able to upload and download Toy Box creations until Sept. 30. On that day, the Disney Infinity community team will stop approving new content.

After Sept. 30, the Android, iOS and PC versions of Disney Infinity will no longer be playable.

Disney announced in May that it was canceling development of Disney Infinity and shutting down its primary developer, Avalanche Software. Disney's chairman of consumer products and interactive media, Jimmy Pitaro, said at the time that the company had changed its approach to console gaming and would be transitioning "exclusively to a licensing model."
