BLUE REFLECTION Quartet: Shoujo-tachi no Kiseki is a compilation that unifies the BLUE REFLECTION series, which previously spanned games, an anime, and a mobile app, into a single console release. The package includes four works: the 2017 game BLUE REFLECTION: Higan ni Mau Shoujo no Ken, the anime BLUE REFLECTION RAY/澪, the app title BLUE REFLECTION SUN/燦, and the 2021 game BLUE REFLECTION TIE/帝. Each work receives new features, with the original game getting upgraded textures and faster field movement, the anime re-edited with 3D-modeled main characters, SUN/燦 gaining 24 newly written events, and TIE/帝 adding eight girls from RAY/澪 and SUN/燦 to battle. A REFERENCE database collects series lore, and the package includes a gallery of illustrations by character designer Mel Kishida.

The compilation launched on July 30, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam, with the Switch 2 version download-only. Digital pre-orders opened on June 22, 2026, and pre-ordering by July 29 granted a set of four special photo frames for the photo mode in TIE/帝. The standard edition costs 7,480 yen, with a Premium Box at 11,330 yen and a Special Collection Box at 24,200 yen. A second promotional video, featuring the song "OVERDOSE," showed the girls' unconventional school life and their battles against world threats.

Overseas reviews on Metacritic have been strong, with the PS5 and Switch 2 versions scoring 77 and the PC version 71. Critics praise the story and entry point value, though some note uneven handling of the included works. The collection gives SUN/燦 its first home console form, described as a reconstruction rather than a port, making the full narrative accessible to new players while offering series fans a centralized reference tool.
