Atari and Digital Eclipse announced on June 3 that they will release two Toy Story game collections on October 15: "Toy Story: Retro Roundup!" and "Toy Story 3 Complete Edition." The Retro Roundup! collection bundles five classic titles-the 1995 "Toy Story," the 1999 "Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue!," the 1999 "Toy Story 2," the 2000 "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command," the 2001 "Toy Story Racer," and the 1998 "A Bug's Life"-across 11 console and handheld versions. It adds modern features like rewind, practice mode, and cheat codes, plus a gallery with interviews and development materials. The "Toy Story 3 Complete Edition" is a remastered version of the 2011 game, with enhanced graphics and frame rate, and includes previously version- content such as playing as Emperor Zurg in Toy Box mode and four extra theme packs. Both titles will be available on PC via Steam, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. A physical double pack combining both collections is also planned for select platforms.
The collections are developed by Digital Eclipse, a studio known for retro re-releases. The gallery in "Retro Roundup!" includes new interviews with Pixar Story Head Jason Katz, voice actor Jim Hanks, Disney & Pixar Games VP and GM Luigi Priore, and TT Games founder Jon Burton. It also features a virtual museum with rare design documents and development photos.
"Toy Story 3 Complete Edition" was originally developed by Avalanche Software, the studio behind "Hogwarts Legacy." The 2011 game was not released in Japan, but the new version lists Japanese display support. The remaster includes local two-player co-op. The original game had version-exclusive content; the Complete Edition bundles all of it, including playing as Emperor Zurg in Toy Box mode and four extra theme packs.
A physical double pack combining both collections, titled "Toy Story: Retro Roundup! + Toy Story 3 Complete Edition Double Pack," will be released for PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. Pre-orders are open on Atari's official website. The Automaton article notes that Japan is listed as a shipping option on the overseas store page. The re-releases arrive ahead of "Toy Story 5," which opens on July 3.
