Star Wars: Datapad Closes With the App
Star Wars: Datapad will retire on September 16. The Galaxy's Edge game lets guests hack droids, scan cargo crates, translate signs and take missions around Black Spire Outpost at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disneyland Park.
Batuu Bounty Hunters will remain available through MagicBand+ and the screens installed around the land. The phone component in Play Disney Parks will stop working.
DuckTales and Queue Games Face Unanswered Questions
The app also powers DuckTales World Showcase Adventure at EPCOT, attraction queue games, parks trivia and digital achievements. Disney has not announced what will replace those functions.
Disney reporter Scott Gustin said there was no additional information to share about the future of DuckTales World Showcase Adventure. The EPCOT experience has recently been unavailable for refurbishment.
Play Disney Parks Launched in 2018
Play Disney Parks debuted in 2018 with games, trivia, music and achievements built around the physical parks. Disney later expanded it with the Galaxy's Edge Datapad, DuckTales World Showcase Adventure and MagicBand+ activities.
