Square Enix bundles the main series and spin-offs for PS5, Xbox, PC and Switch 2. An OpenCritic average of 84 – great for newcomers, but little new for owners of the PS4 versions.

The ideal way into the Disney saga for newcomers, but owners of the PS4 bundles have little reason to buy again.
Summary of published reviews – sources below.
Kingdom Hearts Collection [I–III] has been available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Nintendo Switch 2 since 8 October. Square Enix's compilation spans the 2002 PS2 original through Kingdom Hearts III with its Re Mind expansion, and also includes the spin-offs already found in the PS4 bundles 1.5+2.5 HD Remix and 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue. The rhythm game Melody of Memory is not included. According to Push Square, the package costs $74.99 or £64.99.
Push Square awards 7 out of 10: for newcomers the collection is very good value, and Kingdom Hearts III benefits most, running at a mostly stable 60 frames per second on PS5. The other games, however, are barely changed from the PS4 versions – anyone who owns those has little reason to buy.
Nintendo World Report is enthusiastic with 9.5 out of 10 for the Switch 2 version: the games run there as three separate applications rather than via the cloud as before, performance is good, and Kingdom Hearts II and III are highlights. Some older entries do show their age, though. On OpenCritic, the top critic average stands at 84, with 93 per cent recommending the collection.
