Disney released Disney Infinity: Toy Box 2.0 free for download [1] on Thursday for the iPad and iPhone. The app brings the Toy Box 2.0 features found in Disney Infinity to mobile devices, including new multiplayer functionality.  The game is built on iOS 8′s Metal graphics engine, which allows for greater functionality and richer experience than on past mobile apps for Disney Infinity, though it will vary on what iOS device you are running.
John Blackburn, senior vice president of general manager said:
With the Disney Infinity: Toy Box 2.0 app, we wanted to give our fans the chance to build and play console-quality Toy Boxes on their tablets and smart phones, and Metal allows us to offer the highest-quality Disney Infinity experience, whether players are already on console or coming to the game exclusively through their mobile devices.
Toy Box 2.0 now will allow users to edit toy box worlds more easily (with more robust tools) that can be played and explored on your PC, console, or mobile devices, including being able to build these virtual worlds alongside your friends. You can even play Toy Box games on mobile devices!
We briefly demoed Toy Box 2.0 last year at Disney’s Mobile Showcase and it looked and performed better than its OpenGL version. Take a look at the gallery below for more shots from Toy Box 2.0 and Disney Infinity 2.0.
While Disney Infinity: Toy Box 2.0 is not nearly the full console/PC version it is much improved over the first version. Though for now Toy Box 2.0 is only available on iOS devices.
