Back in May Disney Interactive noted that it would be shutting down its toys-to-life series Disney Infinity. Now we have the details regarding how that will go down.

The gist is that the offline portions of the game will remain forever for the console versions, but the PC, Android and iOS versions of Disney Infinity will no longer be playable at all after 30th September.

Similarly, the Windows 8/10 (which is considered a separate entity from the PC version) and Apple TV versions will face a similar fate on 3rd March.

For console, Apple TV or Windows 8/10 players, Toy Boxes will remain available for download until 3rd March, but you won't be able to upload them after 30th September.

Here's the full breakdown via Disney Infinity's official site:
