Disney Infinity: Toy Box 2.0 App Launches on January 29

Disney Interactive has announced the launch of the Disney Infinity: Toy Box 2.0 app for iPad and iPhone. The app includes all tools and features of Toy Box 2.0 from Disney Infinity (2.0 Edition) and introduces a multiplayer feature for the first time to mobile users.

The Disney Infinity: Toy Box 2.0 app can be used be existing Disney Infinity players or newcomers alike, and will be available to download for free on the Apple store. The app will also feature character trials, which will cycle new characters for users to try every three to five days.

The iOS version of Toy Box 2.0 is powered by the Metal graphics API, which grants it more capability for better visuals over older iOS versions. Speaking to GameSpot in an interview, senior producer mobile Sean Patton said, "Metal has allowed us to take all the assets from console and actually bring them into the Toy Box experience with much improved graphic fidelity… we did a crossplay from PS4 to iPad, and you have to nitpick to find the differences."

Disney Infinity 2.0 launched in September last year, introducing more than 20 new characters from the Marvel universe and a Toy Box mode. Earlier this month Disney released a statement claiming that Disney Infinity was the best-selling toys-to-life brand in 2014, a title which Skylanders publisher Activision contested.
