Disney Infinity is an action-adventure sandbox game developed by Avalanche Software and published by Disney Interactive Studios. The game combines physical collectible figures with digital gameplay, allowing players to place Disney characters on a special base to bring them into the game. The PlayStation 3 version launched in 2013 as part of a cross-platform release.
The PS3 version features two primary gameplay modes: Play Set and Toy Box. Play Set mode offers structured story-driven experiences based on specific Disney and Pixar franchises such as Pirates of the Caribbean, The Incredibles, and Monsters University. In contrast, Toy Box mode gives players an open-ended environment where they can build, customize, and share their own worlds using in-game tools and assets.
The game supports local split-screen and online multiplayer, with cooperative play available in Toy Box and certain Play Sets. It also includes trophy support and a user interface optimized for PlayStation 3 controls. The physical base accessory connects via USB and is required to load character figures and Power Discs.
Disney Infinity received generally positive reviews for its creative gameplay and wide appeal to younger audiences. Critics praised the Toy Box mode for its flexibility and imaginative potential, though some noted that the Play Set campaigns varied in depth. According to Metacritic, the PlayStation 3 version holds favorable review scores.
