Disney Interactive Studios was a division of The Walt Disney Company focused on creating video games based on Disney's popular characters and franchises. Established in 1988, the studio developed games for various platforms, including consoles, PCs, and mobile devices, often featuring beloved characters from Disney and Pixar films. The studio produced a range of titles, from family-friendly games to more complex experiences. Notable releases included games based on Kingdom Hearts, which combined Disney characters with those from Square Enix, and various titles tied to Disney movies. In 2016, the studio was restructured, leading to a shift in focus towards licensing rather than in-house game development.
