From a 2010 tie-in to a modern remaster
Toy Story 3 originally launched in 2010 alongside the animated film, and it punched well above the usual movie tie-in weight class. Its open-world Toy Box mode drew the most attention, giving players a sandbox to build and explore that many now recognize as a direct spiritual predecessor to Disney Infinity. The game has been sitting on the Xbox Store ever since, running on Xbox Series X/S through backwards compatibility.
The Xbox Store listing itself now carries the delisting notice, spelling out the timeline clearly: gone from sale September 29, with Toy Story 3: The Complete Edition arriving on October 15, 2026 for Xbox Series X/S. The Complete Edition promises upgraded visuals, higher resolutions, improved performance, and content that was previously locked to the PS3 version of the original release.
What Digital Eclipse is actually adding
Digital Eclipse studio head Mike Mika described the project as an opportunity to revisit one of the better movie-to-game adaptations ever made. The remaster isn't just a resolution bump. PS3-exclusive content coming to Xbox players for the first time is a meaningful addition, even if the specifics of that content haven't been fully detailed yet.
Here's the thing: the Complete Edition launches at $25, which is $15 more than the original's current asking price. That gap needs to be justified by the upgrades, and Digital Eclipse's track record with preservation projects suggests they understand that assignment.
The bigger Toy Story package arriving in October
The Complete Edition isn't arriving alone. Toy Story: Retro Roundup launches the same day, October 15, bundling five classic games from the franchise: Toy Story (1995), Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue (1999), Toy Story 2 (1999), Buzz Lightyear of Star Command (2000), and Toy Story Racer (2001). A bonus sixth game, A Bug's Life (1998), rounds out the collection alongside Digital Eclipse's signature behind-the-scenes content and video interviews.
Retro Roundup also costs $25 separately. Buy both together and the bundle drops to $40, saving $10. What most players miss in announcements like this is the value math: six classic games plus a remastered 2010 title for $40 total is a reasonable ask if the preservation work holds up.
The delisting follows a familiar pattern in the industry where legacy versions get cleared out before a remaster arrives, though the key difference here is that existing owners aren't losing anything. Fans of toy-themed casual games who never picked up the original now have a hard deadline before the cheaper version disappears entirely.
If the toy-building sandbox genre interests you beyond Toy Story, Meta Toy City offers a web3-adjacent take on the concept worth checking out, and you can read our full review to see how it holds up. October 15 is the date to mark for Digital Eclipse's take on Woody and Buzz.
