A Celebration of 30 Years of Play
It is a massive year for the Toy Story franchise. With Toy Story 5 set to hit theaters on June 19, 2026, Disney and Pixar are leaning hard into the nostalgia that has made these characters household names for three decades. Atari and Digital Eclipse have officially announced two major video game projects that will allow fans to revisit the series’ digital history: Toy Story: Retro Roundup! and Toy Story 3 Complete Edition.
Both titles are scheduled to launch on October 15, 2026, across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. For those who prefer physical media, a special double-pack featuring both releases will also be available for $39.99.
Toy Story: Retro Roundup! – A Nostalgic Deep Dive
For fans who grew up in the ’90s and early 2000s, Toy Story: Retro Roundup! is the ultimate time capsule. This collection isn’t just a simple port; it features 11 different versions of classic games, including the original 1995 Toy Story (across SNES, Genesis, and Game Boy), the cult-classic Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue!, and even Toy Story Racer. As a surprise bonus, the collection also includes the 1998 A Bug’s Life video game.
Digital Eclipse is handling the development, which means fans can expect high-quality preservation features. Key updates include:
- Rewind and Save States: No more starting the entire level over after a missed jump in Andy’s room.
- Rex’s Cheat Codes: A built-in system to unlock invincibility or unlimited lives.
- Virtual Museum: A massive archive of behind-the-scenes content, featuring interviews with Pixar’s Jason Katz and legendary game designer Jon Burton.
Toy Story 3 Complete Edition – The Return of the Toy Box
While the Retro Roundup focuses on the 2D and early 3D era, Toy Story 3 Complete Edition remasters what many consider the best licensed Disney game ever made. Originally released in 2010, this version has been upgraded to 4K resolution at 60fps and includes all previously platform-exclusive content.
The highlight here is the Toy Box Mode. This open-world sandbox allows players to customize a western town, take on non-linear missions, and play as various characters. It was a precursor to the Disney Infinity series and remains a fan favorite for its creativity and humor. For families who love the Toy Story Land experience at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, this mode is the closest you can get to building your own backyard adventure at home.
The 2026 Toy Story Takeover
This gaming announcement perfectly complements the upcoming release of Toy Story 5, which follows Woody, Buzz, and Jessie as they face off against a new electronic threat named Lilypad. If you are planning a trip to Walt Disney World or Disneyland Resort this summer, expect the synergy to be everywhere.
At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Toy Story Land remains a top priority for families using Lightning Lane Multi Pass. These game releases provide the perfect way to keep the magic alive after your vacation ends. Whether you are showing your kids the games you played as a child or exploring the sandbox of Toy Box Mode together, these releases are a testament to the enduring legacy of Pixar’s first feature film.
