Toy Story: Retro Roundup!

(1999), Toy Story 2 (1999), Buzz Lightyear of Star Command (2000), and Toy Story Racer (2001), along with a bonus game – A Bug's Life (1998). The collection brings together titles originally released across PlayStation, SNES, Game Boy, and other platforms, many of which have been unavailable or difficult to access on modern hardware.

  • Rewind and retry instantly: Roll back gameplay to retry difficult sections without restarting.
  • Save and load anytime: Pick up and play exactly where you left off, and save progress when needed.
  • Customize gameplay experience with Rex's Cheat Code: Use Rex's cheat codes to immediately unlock characters, levels, and bonus play modes including invincibility and unlimited lives.
  • Learn with Practice Mode: Learn how to play by watching guided playthroughs or playing in practice mode.
  • Modernized "How to Play" guides: Get straight to the action with simplified, fully localized instructions adapted for modern systems.
  • Enhanced visuals with classic options: Play in upgraded, high resolution that brings the original look to life, or switch to the original PlayStation 1 presentation for a nostalgic feel.

In addition to the games themselves, Toy Story: Retro Roundup! includes extensive archival content, with all-new behind the scenes interview featuring rare development materials, archival imagery and insights into both the films and games (including A Bug's Life). Players can also enjoy six behind-the-scenes video featurettes with industry voices that offer a deeper look at the franchise's creative journey, including Jason Katz – Head of Story, Pixar; Luigi Priore – VP and GM, Disney & Pixar Games; Jon Burton – Founder, TT Games; and Jim Hanks – Actor.

Toy Story 3 Complete Edition brings the definitive version of the game inspired by the Academy Award-winning film to modern platforms for the first time, including previously platform-exclusive content from the PlayStation 3 version and an enhanced experience with upgraded visuals, higher resolutions, and improved performance. Toy Story 3 is best known for its groundbreaking Toy Box Mode, a massive, open-world sandbox that allowed customization of the environment and characters and featured non-linear missions that allow players to unlock new toys, vehicles and characters from other Pixar movies.

  • Relive the adventure in Story Mode: Journey through locations, from Andy's Room to Sunnyside Daycare, as Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Jessie embark on an action-packed adventure.

  • Explore, create, and play in Toy Box Mode: Step into a vibrant Wild West town inspired by Woody's Roundup. Take on missions, unlock new content, and complete rewarding missions.
  • Fun for all ages: Accessible controls, light platforming, and open-ended gameplay provide a creative, low-pressure experience for new players, while still offering depth and charm for longtime fans.
  • Enhancements: Up to 4K resolution and 60 frames per second on supported platforms.
