BLUE REFLECTION Quartet: Shoujo-tachi no Kiseki, also known as BlueRef Q, is a compilation that unifies a franchise previously scattered across games, anime, and mobile apps into a single console release. Koei Tecmo Games opened pre-orders on June 22, 2026, and the game launched on July 30, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam, with the Switch 2 version download-only. The package includes 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.

The compilation is not a straight port. Each work gains new features: the original game gets upgraded textures and faster field movement, the anime is re-edited with 3D-modeled main characters, SUN/燦 becomes a console game with 24 newly written events described as a reconstruction, and TIE/帝 adds eight girls from RAY/澪 and SUN/燦 to battle. A REFERENCE database collects series lore, including a chronological flowchart, character relationship chart, and a gallery of illustrations by Mel Kishida. The anime-originated RAY/澪 becomes playable in 3D, letting players control Hiyori while Ruka follows and the pair constantly holds hands, covering the final stretch of the story and requiring prior anime knowledge.

Overseas reviews on Metacritic show high scores, with the PS5 and Switch 2 versions at 77 and the PC version at 71. Critics praise the story and entry point value, though some note uneven handling of included works. The standard edition costs 7,480 yen, with a Premium Box at 11,330 yen and a Special Collection Box at 24,200 yen. Pre-ordering by July 29 granted four special photo frames for TIE/帝's photo mode. A launch trailer and a commemorative illustration by Mel Kishida were released alongside the second promotional video, which featured the song OVERDOSE and showed the girls' school life and battles.
