Digital Eclipse has spent years specializing in one thing: tracking down games stuck in licensing limbo and rebuilding them for modern hardware. Atari 50, The Making of Karateka, the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection. Now the studio is aiming that same energy at one of the biggest licenses in the world. Atari and Digital Eclipse announced today that Toy Story: Retro Roundup! and Toy Story 3 Complete Edition are arriving October 15, bundled together as a physical double pack for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Switch, and Switch 2.

Retro Roundup! is the more ambitious half, pulling together five games across 11 console and handheld versions: the original Toy Story (1995), both 1999 takes on Toy Story 2, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command (2000), Toy Story Racer (2001), and A Bug’s Life (1998) tossed in as a bonus. Each one can be played in its original form or an upscaled resolution, with the rewind feature, save states, and guided practice walkthroughs that have become Digital Eclipse staples. Most of these games were originally built by Traveller’s Tales, the studio Jon Burton founded back in 1989, and as a nice bonus, Burton is one of the voices in the collection’s behind-the-scenes interviews.

Toy Story 3 Complete Edition fills out the other half, a modern remaster of the 2010 movie tie-in that targets up to 4K and 60 FPS on supported hardware. It folds in content that used to be exclusive to the PlayStation 3 version, plus the full Story Mode and the Toy Box sandbox where you build your own western town and play as Zurg. The original came from Avalanche Software, the team that later made Disney Infinity and Hogwarts Legacy, so this isn’t some throwaway licensed cash-in. It was one of the better movie games of its era.

Both games are also hitting XBOX One, XBOX Series X|S, and PC, though the physical double pack skips XBOX and PC entirely. Anyone on those platforms is buying the games separately and digitally. The physical pack runs $39.99, with preorders open now.

We’ve watched plenty of these collections come and go, but Digital Eclipse has one of the best track records in the business at making old games feel worth playing again. It also lands in a big Toy Story year, with the fifth film hitting theaters June 19, and it’s another piece of Atari’s growing retro portfolio after the company recently picked up the rights to the original Wizardry.
