Digital Eclipse is bringing back the Toy Story 3 video game. Toy Story 3 Complete Edition launches October 15, 2026, and preorders are live now.
If you grew up around 2010, you probably remember this one. The original Toy Story 3 game shipped that June, built by Avalanche Software and published by Disney. It had a story mode that loosely followed the film. But the part everyone actually loved was Toy Box mode: a big open-world western town you could roam, customize, and fill with toys, vehicles, and characters from other Pixar movies. Critics called it the best part of the game, and it scored in the high 70s on Metacritic for the console versions.
The remaster is called Toy Story 3 Complete Edition, and Digital Eclipse is handling it with Atari publishing. This is the team behind Atari 50 and the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection, so they know retro re-releases. The big deal here: it bundles in the PlayStation 3 exclusive content, including playing as Emperor Zurg in Toy Box mode, which most people never got to touch. You also get upgraded visuals, higher resolution, and better framerate.
Platforms are wide. You can grab it on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch, Switch 2, and PC via Steam. The standalone digital version runs around $25. There is also a physical double-pack that pairs it with Toy Story: Retro Roundup, a separate collection of 11 classic Toy Story game versions plus A Bug's Life. That physical bundle lands around $40 at retailers like Target. Preorders are open now on Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo stores.
Why now? Two reasons line up. Toy Story 5 hit theaters June 19, 2026, so the whole franchise is back in everyone's feed. And the announcement trailer dropped June 2, 2026, two weeks before the movie, which is no accident. The nostalgia hook is real, and the Toy Box mode is what is pulling people back.
One honest note: there is no fancy collector's edition or season pass here. It is a clean remaster of a game people loved, sold either on its own or in the two-pack. That is the whole offer.
Why it's blowing up right now
The trigger is the remaster announcement landing right as Toy Story 5 hit theaters. Searches climbed all week and spiked hard around June 19 and 20, the movie's opening. People who played Toy Box mode as kids suddenly have a reason to come back, and now they can on modern hardware with the PS3 content finally included. The date to circle is October 15, when both Toy Story 3 Complete Edition and the Retro Roundup collection go live. Until then, the movie keeps the whole toy box in the spotlight.
