'''''Disney Infinity''''' (sometimes also referred to as '''''Disney Infinity 1.0''''' to differentiate it from later games) is a 2013 [[toys-to-life]] [[action-adventure game]] published by [[Disney Interactive Studios]]. It was announced on January 15, 2013. The game used collectible figurines that were then synchronized with the game, unlocking characters from [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] and [[Pixar]] properties that interact and go on adventures.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://variety.com/2013/biz/news/disney-hopes-new-videogame-will-bolster-its-worst-performing-division-1200495518/ | title=Disney Hopes New Videogame Will Bolster Its Worst Performing Division | date=2013-06-12 | access-date=2013-06-19 | last=Graser | first=Marc | newspaper=Variety}}</ref> The game was released for [[Xbox 360]], [[PlayStation 3]], [[Wii]], [[Wii U]], and [[Nintendo 3DS]] in August 2013. A PC version of Toy Box was also released on November 14, 2013. The game had a budget approaching $100 million.<ref>{{cite web|last=Fritz|first=Ben|date=August 25, 2013|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424127887323455104579013341130423088|title=Disney Tries Anew to Raise Its Score on Digital Games|website=[[The Wall Street Journal]]}}</ref> A sequel, ''[[Disney Infinity 2.0]]'', was released on September 23, 2014. The third edition, ''[[Disney Infinity 3.0]]'', was released on August 30, 2015, and introduced support for the [[Apple TV]]. This game was also later released on [[Microsoft Windows]] in 2013.<ref name="Disney Interactive">{{cite web | url=http://www.disneyinteractive.com/blog/update-disney-infinity/ | title=An Update on Disney Infinity | publisher=Disney Interactive | date=10 May 2016 | access-date=10 May 2016 | first=John | last=Blackburn | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160809192140/http://www.disneyinteractive.com/blog/update-disney-infinity/ | archive-date=9 August 2016 }}</ref>

==Gameplay==
''Disney Infinity'' is an [[action-adventure game]] with physical toys, open-world creation, and story-driven gameplay.{{clarify|date=January 2017}} Characters, playsets, and other features are brought into the game using figurines and discs with the included Infinity Base. With the exception of non-humanoid characters, such as those from the ''[[Cars (franchise)|Cars]]'' series, each character has a double jump and a default set of attacks, as well as an ability unique to each figure. For example, [[List of Monsters, Inc. characters|Sulley]] and [[Jack Skellington]] can roar to scare others while [[Violet Parr|Violet]] and Randall can turn invisible. There were two main modes in this game: Play Set<ref name=DisneyInfinityPlaysets/> and Toy Box.<ref name="2modes">{{cite web|last=Nichols|first=Scott|title=Disney Infinity preview: Skylanders challenger not the usual toy story|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/news/a451638/disney-infinity-preview-skylanders-challenger-not-the-usual-toy-story.html|publisher=Digital Spy|access-date=21 January 2013|date=18 January 2013}}</ref> Each playset is essentially a self-contained world with its own gameplay, based on a specific film or series with recognizable characters and storylines. In play set mode, the player can earn items, tools, and characters to use in Toy Box mode. Characters from one world cannot enter into another world, but players can put any characters together in Toy Box mode. Toy Box is a sandbox mode that players can fully customize and explore, and earn items, tools, and characters to customize and explore from play sets.

===Play Set Mode===
There are a number of playsets available, which are accessed via placing the relevant playset piece onto the Infinity Base. These include ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean (film series)|Pirates of the Caribbean]]'', ''[[Monsters University]]'', ''[[The Incredibles]]'', ''[[Cars (film)|Cars]]'', ''[[The Lone Ranger (2013 film)|The Lone Ranger]]'' and ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story in Space]]''<!--Name of the Playset-->. These playsets have their own unique campaign, which could be played with up to two players (except for the Wii version). However, all characters from a specific franchise can only play in their respective playset (for example, [[Mr. Incredible]] cannot be used in the ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' playset), meaning two figures from the same series are required to play a play set in split-screen multiplayer.<ref name=DisneyInfinityPlaysets>{{cite web | url=http://www.disneyinfinityfigures.com/disney-infinity-play-set-list | title=Disney INFINITY Playsets | publisher=Disney INFINITY Figures | date=29 May 2013 | access-date=29 May 2013 | author=Disney INFINITY | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130618233503/http://disneyinfinityfigures.com/disney-infinity-play-set-list | archive-date=18 June 2013 }}</ref> Playing through Play Set mode unlocks objects and vehicles that can be used in the Toy Box mode.

===Toy Box mode===
Toy Box mode<ref name=DisneyInfinityToyBoxMode>{{cite web | url=http://www.iheartinfinity.com/disney-infinity-toy-box-mode | title=Disney Infinity Toy Box Mode | publisher=Disney Infinity | date=29 May 2013 | access-date=29 May 2013 | last=Disney | first=Infinity | archive-date=2 April 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402153429/http://www.iheartinfinity.com/disney-infinity-toy-box-mode/ | url-status=dead }}</ref> allowed players to create their own game in an open-world arena. Players can mix and match everything that is unlocked within each of the play sets including characters, weapons and gadgets. By unlocking new content in the ''Disney Infinity'' play sets, players are able to build their own worlds and essentially create their own game.<ref name="DisneyInfinityToyBoxMode" /> There are various "adventures" in this mode, which help teach the player how to use the mode's tools. Players can also earn "spins" by playing through playsets or leveling up their characters, which can be used to unlock additional items. The mode supports online multiplayer, in which players can play around with items that only the other player has, albeit only during that session.

A portable Toy Box became available in late 2013, for the [[iPad]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ca.ign.com/articles/2013/08/14/disney-infinity-goes-mobile|title=Disney Infinity Goes Mobile|last=Butts|first=Steve|date=August 14, 2013|access-date=August 20, 2013|publisher=IGN}}</ref> A version of the Toy Box is also available for [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] [[personal computer|PC]]. These versions of the Toy Box utilized the web codes included with each ''Disney Infinity'' character.

===Physical elements===
The Starter Pack<ref name=starterpacks>{{cite web | url=http://www.iheartinfinity.com/preorder | title=Disney Infinity Starter Pack | publisher=Disney Infinity UK | date=27 June 2013 | access-date=27 June 2013 | last=Infinity | first=Disney | archive-date=9 July 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130709131606/http://www.iheartinfinity.com/preorder/ | url-status=dead }}</ref> edition of the game was bundled with three figurines (Sulley, Mr. Incredible, and Jack Sparrow), three play sets, and an ''Infinity Base''. The ''Infinity Base'' has two round spots to place figurines, and a hexagonal spot to place world discs. When the figurines are placed on the ''Infinity Base'', the characters are imported into the game, while world discs unlock Play Sets.<ref name="2modes" />

Power Discs are discs that can be placed on the Infinity Base along with their characters to add new elements to the game. Players can use up to three environment enhancements (Hexagonal Power Discs) that can only be used in the Toy Box mode and up to two character enhancements (Circular Power Discs) per character. The environment enhancements can alter the terrain, change the background "sky", add new vehicles or add new weapons. The character enhancements will alter things about the character such as damage done, replenish health, allow for faster experience gain for leveling and so on. One Power Disc is included with the Starter Pack while additional discs are sold in blind bags each containing two discs.<ref name=disneyinfinityfigures>{{cite web | url=http://www.disneyinfinityfigures.com/index.php/disney-infinity-power-discs-to-collect | title=Disney INFINITY Figures — Power Discs | publisher=Disney Infinity Figures | date=24 April 2013 | access-date=24 April 2013 | author=Disney Infinity | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130420094219/http://disneyinfinityfigures.com/index.php/disney-infinity-power-discs-to-collect | archive-date=20 April 2013 }}</ref>

===Alternate versions===
Following a delay, the PC version of ''Disney Infinity'' was released on November 14, 2013. This version was available free of charge and could be downloaded from the ''Disney Infinity'' website. It originally contained the game's Toy Box mode, similar to the iPad version. However, a patch was released on February 28, 2014 that added in all six Play Sets, putting it on par with the console versions.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/andyrobertson/2014/02/28/disney-infinity-pc-play-set | title=Disney Infinity Play Sets Land On PC With Huge Discounts | magazine=Forbes |date=2014-02-28 | access-date=2014-03-27 | last=Robertson | first=Andy}}</ref> The game featured several changes from the console version, however. The game did not support the Infinity Base. Instead, characters were unlocked either by purchasing them from the ''Disney Infinity'' website (at a discounted rate, due to the lack of a physical figurine) or by redeeming a web code card included with the physical figurines. Since Power Discs do not come with web codes, they had to be purchased from the PC Shop. The game also did not support multiplayer, though players could link up with the console version to share Toy Boxes between the two versions.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://tay.kotaku.com/disney-infinity-finally-arrives-on-pc-1537194297 | title=Disney Infinity Finally Arrives on PC | publisher=Kotaku.com | date=2014-03-05 | access-date=2014-03-27 | archive-date=2014-03-28 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140328122914/http://tay.kotaku.com/disney-infinity-finally-arrives-on-pc-1537194297 | url-status=dead }}</ref>{{Better source needed | reason=Talk Amongst Yourselves is a self-published source operated by Gawker Media | date=July 2014}}<ref>{{cite web | url=https://infinity.disney.com/pc-shop | title=Disney Infinity PC Shop | publisher=Disney | access-date=2014-03-27 | archive-date=2014-03-20 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140320121334/https://infinity.disney.com/pc-shop | url-status=dead }}</ref>

Due to the space limitations of the Wii platform, some design decisions had to be made in the game. The gameplay does not have online play or multiplayer in Play Sets, but there is multiplayer in Toy Box.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://disneyinteractivestudios.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4073 |title=Disney Infinity - Game Profile (Wii™) |last=Infinity |first=Disney |publisher=Disney Infinity |date=18 August 2013 |access-date=30 October 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20131030154419/http://disneyinteractivestudios.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4073 |archive-date=30 October 2013 }}</ref> That means that there are smaller playset worlds and no downloadable or shareable Toy Box worlds. Toy Box has six different worlds, each with different toys and tools.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://disneyinteractivestudios.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4134 |title=Disney Infinity - Hints: Toy Box Mode (Wii™) |last=Infinity |first=Disney |publisher=Disney Infinity |date=18 August 2013 |access-date=30 October 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20131030160150/http://disneyinteractivestudios.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4134 |archive-date=30 October 2013 }}</ref> On August 21, 2014, the ''Disney Infinity'' software was released as a free download for the North American [[Wii U]] [[Nintendo eShop|eShop]], for the convenience of upgrading to the superior Wii U version for players who originally own the Wii Starter Pack, although the Wii version is backwards-compatible on Wii U.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.joystiq.com/2014/08/21/upgrade-disney-infinity-wii-to-wii-u-free-of-charge/ |title=Upgrade Disney Infinity Wii to Wii U free of charge |last=Suszek |first=Mike |publisher=Joystiq |date=22 August 2014 |access-date=23 August 2014 }}</ref> The game's subsequent sequels, ''[[Disney Infinity 2.0]]'' and ''[[Disney Infinity 3.0]],'' were not available for Wii.

Different from the console and PC versions, the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of the game is a [[party game]], in which up to four players play on various themed game boards and participate in various [[minigame]]s. The Toy Box mode can be used to create new game boards. This version uses its own Infinity Base, which has only one character slot compared to the console version, and connects to the 3DS wirelessly.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://kotaku.com/if-you-like-disappointment-youll-love-disney-infinity-1184284497 |title=If You Like Disappointment, You'll Love Disney Infinity 3DS |last=Fahey |first=Mike |publisher=Kotaku |date=22 August 2013 |access-date=25 August 2013 }}</ref>

==Development==
The idea for the game emerged out of Avalanche's previous work on the [[Toy Story 3: The Video Game|video game adaptation]] of ''[[Toy Story 3]]''. One of the more well-received modes of the game was an open world section called "The Toybox", and the team set out to make a spiritual successor to the mode which would have been set at Star Command.<ref name="Technobuffalo">{{cite web |last1=Choi |first1=Roy |title=Interview With John Vignocchi: Disney Infinity Aims to Expand Open World Gaming |url=https://www.technobuffalo.com/disney-infinity-interview-john-vignocch |website=Techno Buffalo |date=11 August 2013 |access-date=12 December 2019}}</ref> The team was challenged by Disney Interactive's new president [[John Pleasants]] who asked the developers "What is the biggest idea you can think of" at which point the team decided to switch from making a single game to making a platform that would use multiple IPs.<ref name="Technobuffalo"/>

''Disney Infinity'' received generally positive reviews from critics (except for the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] version, which received negative reviews). It received a 75 and 74 out of 100 on [[review aggregator]] site [[Metacritic]], for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 respectively.<ref name="MCX360"/><ref name="MCPS3"/>

During the [[17th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards]], the [[Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences]] nominated ''Disney Infinity'' for "[[D.I.C.E.
