Kingdom Hearts III is being positioned as the centerpiece of the KINGDOM HEARTS Collection [I-III], due October 8 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. A new Sora figure and continued sales discounts keep the game in circulation while a Switch 2 performance comparison shows the port running above Steam Deck but below a steady 60fps on PS5.
Kingdom Hearts III's current life is split between re-release, merchandise, discounts, and platform testing. The KINGDOM HEARTS Collection [I-III] arrives October 8 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC at 11,000 yen, and a GAME Watch review treats Kingdom Hearts III as the anchor of that package while recommending earlier titles to play first. The reviewed worlds are Toy Story, Tangled, Monsters, Inc., Frozen, and Big Hero 6.
Square Enix is also selling a new articulated Sora figure based on the Kingdom Hearts III design. The FORM-ISM ACT release includes the Kingdom Chain and Crystal Snow Keyblades and a clip-type stand, priced at 13,200 yen with AmiAmi at 11,880 yen. It is about 160mm tall, made of PVC and ABS, and scheduled for January 30, 2027. AmiAmi and the Square Enix e-STORE take pre-orders.
On the software side, the game appeared in a summer sales roundup at 60% off across the Nintendo eShop, PS Store, and Steam. A separate performance analysis compared the Switch 2 version against Steam Deck and PS5. The Switch 2 build produced higher average frame rates than Steam Deck but stayed unstable, while PS5 held a steady 60fps through backward compatibility. The Switch 2 version was a demo at the time of that analysis.
