How to Transfer Your Disney Speedstorm Account Off the Samsung Galaxy Store

Gameloft is retiring the Samsung Galaxy Store version of Disney Speedstorm when Season 21 launches July 30, 2026. Galaxy Store players must link their account to the Google Play Store edition or another platform to keep their progress. Here are the three step-by-step transfer options.

Players who downloaded Disney Speedstorm through the Samsung Galaxy Store will need to move their account before Season 21 arrives, as Gameloft has confirmed the kart racer will no longer be distributed through that storefront. Starting July 30, 2026, the Galaxy Store edition will be retired, and any Galaxy Store player who wants to keep racing must link their progress to the Google Play Store version of the game or migrate to another supported platform.

Why Galaxy Store Players Need to Transfer Their Account

The core issue is distribution rather than progress: Gameloft is sunsetting the Samsung Galaxy Store build of Disney Speedstorm, so future updates, seasons, and content will only flow to the Google Play Store edition on Android and to the game's other supported platforms. Because each storefront version is treated as a separate installation, a Galaxy Store player's racers, currency, and season progress will not automatically appear in the Google Play version. The transfer process exists to bridge that gap, connecting the existing Galaxy Store account to a new platform so nothing is left behind when the Galaxy Store edition goes offline.

Gameloft has laid out three transfer paths, each tailored to the hardware a player happens to own. All of them rely on the game's built-in account linking tools, found under the Options menu, and most use a one-time Connect with Code handshake between two copies of the game. Players who already have a Gameloft ID can use that instead of a code on any of the routes.

Step-by-Step: The Three Transfer Options

Whichever route applies, the goal is the same — open the Galaxy Store version alongside a second copy of the game, link the two accounts, and then continue on the new version going forward.

Option 1 — Two Android Devices

1. Download Disney Speedstorm from the Google Play Store on the second device and complete the tutorial there.
2. With the Galaxy Store version on the first device and the Google Play version on the second, open the game on both devices.
3. Navigate to Options → Connect → Connect with Code, then tap How to do it and follow the on-screen instructions. Players with a Gameloft ID can choose Connect with Gameloft ID instead.
4. Once the accounts are linked, continue playing on the Google Play Store version.

Option 2 — One Android Device Plus Another Platform

This route suits players who own a single Android phone but also play on iOS, PC, PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch.

1. Download Disney Speedstorm on the other gaming device and complete the tutorial there.
2. Open the game on both devices.
3. Go to Options → Connect → Connect with Code, tap How to do it and follow the steps, or use Connect with Gameloft ID if one exists.
4. After linking, players can either continue solely on the other platform, or delete the Galaxy Store version, install the Google Play Store edition, and link the account to keep playing on mobile.

Option 3 — A Single Android Device

Players with only one Android phone can still transfer by running both store versions side by side.

1. Install the Google Play Store version of Disney Speedstorm so both the Galaxy Store and Google Play editions live on the same device.
2. Complete the tutorial on the Google Play Store version.
3. On the phone, open Settings → Apps → Disney Speedstorm → App Battery Usage and set it to Unrestricted for both installed versions, which allows them to run at the same time. This setting can be reverted to default once the account is transferred.
4. Open both versions simultaneously and go to Options → Connect → Connect with Code on each, then tap How to do it and follow the instructions.
5. When the accounts are connected, continue playing on the Google Play Store version.

Troubleshooting and Support

If the single-device method in Option 3 does not complete successfully, Gameloft recommends falling back to Option 1 or Option 2, where the two copies of the game run on separate hardware and the Connect with Code handshake tends to be more reliable. Players who still cannot link their accounts are advised to reach out to Customer Care for direct assistance. Keeping the Galaxy Store version installed until the link is confirmed is the safest approach, since the account only needs to be active on one copy to generate the connection code.

What This Means for Players

For most Galaxy Store users, the migration is a one-time chore rather than a setback — racers, garage progress, and season unlocks all carry over once the accounts are connected, and Google Play, iOS, PC, and consoles continue to receive every future season. The key is to act before July 30, 2026, when Season 21 goes live and the Galaxy Store edition is retired; linking early avoids any window where a player is locked out of the storefront they originally used. Anyone unsure of which path fits their setup can start with the multi-device options for the smoothest handoff and lean on Customer Care if the link does not take.
