Disney and Atari Invite Fans to Rediscover Classic Toy Story Games Following Toy Story 5
Ahead of the release of Toy Story 5, Disney, Atari, and Digital Eclipse have announced the return of several classic Toy Story video games. This revival will take shape in two distinct titles: Toy Story: Retro Roundup! and Toy Story 3 Complete Edition.
As the name suggests, Toy Story: Retro Roundup! is a compilation of beloved Pixar games. It features 1995’s Toy Story, 1998’s A Bug’s Life, 1999’s Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue, 2000’s Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, and 2001’s Toy Story Racer. While some of these titles are already available through the PlayStation Plus Classics catalog, this marks the first time many will be accessible on PC and modern Nintendo and Xbox consoles.
Although these games have seen releases on various platforms, Digital Eclipse has yet to specify which versions of each title will be included in the collection. The developer noted that the games were “originally released across PlayStation, SNES, Game Boy, and other platforms.” Given Digital Eclipse’s track record with collections like The Disney Afternoon Collection and Disney Classic Games Collection, Toy Story: Retro Roundup! is expected to be comprehensive. Digital Eclipse is well-regarded for its game compilations, as seen with Atari 50.
According to Digital Eclipse, the Toy Story collection will feature several enhancements.
On the other hand, the 2010 tie-in game Toy Story 3 is receiving a dedicated remaster. This cult classic is particularly known for its Toy Box mode, which served as an open-ended sandbox precursor to the Disney Infinity toys-to-life series. Toy Story 3 Complete Edition will provide an upscaled remaster for current-generation consoles, along with a set of new features.
Toy Story 5 is set to hit theaters on June 19, but don’t expect these re-releases to arrive that quickly. Both Toy Story: Retro Roundup! and Toy Story 3 Complete Edition will launch on October 15 for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
While the games will be available digitally as separate titles, a two-in-one physical release containing both is also in the works.
