Toy Story 3 Remaster and Retro Collection Release on Switch, Xbox

Nintendo Switch 2, Switch, and Xbox users can now get the updated Toy Story 3 game and a nostalgic collection of classic Toy Story titles in a single release. The package, titled Toy Story 3 Complete Edition and Retro Roundup, arrives on Switch 2, Switch, and Xbox, with the Xbox bundle including games that had never been on that platform before. The bundle is priced at $39.99, versus the separate price of $24.99–$29.99 for the remastered game alone.

The Complete Edition is a remastered version of the 2010 Toy Story 3: The Video Game, featuring higher‑resolution textures, 60‑fps performance on modern hardware, and updated lighting. Subtitles are added, and the core gameplay remains faithful, with a mix of linear platforming and open‑world Toy Box mode. Camera hiccups still appear in some sections, but the overall experience feels fresh.

Retro Roundup brings together the first three Toy Story games, A Bug’s Life, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, Toy Story Racer, and several Game Boy titles, many of which were previously unavailable on Xbox. The collection includes extra features such as Practice Mode, cheat codes, and a rewind function that lets players retry sections.

Technical specifications vary by platform: the Switch 2 version runs at 1080p/60fps, the Switch 1 version at 900p/30fps in TV mode and 640p/30fps handheld; the Xbox version delivers 60fps on Series X, while the PS5 release benefits from higher resolutions and improved textures.

According to Digital Eclipse, the decision to include A Bug’s Life was to present a complete chronological history from Toy Story to Toy Story 2, and the lack of N64 and Dreamcast ports was due to technical feasibility and scope at the time. Interviewers noted the use of emulation technology from Atari’s Implicit Conversions, and the collection also features behind‑the‑scenes content.

While the Retro Roundup feels dated in some ways, its nostalgic value and added quality‑of‑life features make it worthwhile for fans. The Xbox bundle’s price point of $39.99 makes it an attractive option versus buying the remastered Toy Story 3 alone for $24.99–$29.99, and the improved visuals and smooth frame rates keep the 2010 experience alive.

Update (Noisy Pixel): A review by Noisy Pixel notes that the Retro Roundup contains 11 console and handheld versions of the Toy Story games, including releases on the Genesis, SNES, and Game Boy. The review highlights that the collection also features A Bug’s Life and that the team worked to recreate the original games on limited hardware.
