Toy Story 3 on Xbox 360 and PS3 was a surprisingly good game, and interestingly enough, it was Korn lead singer Johnathan Davis’ favorite video game. Many people were excited to hear Disney announce a remaster earlier this year. But before that new version is released, Disney is quietly removing the original backwards-compatible 360 version of Toy Story 3 from the Xbox Store.
The news of Toy Story 3 being removed from the Xbox digital games store was not announced in any big, flashy social media posts. Instead, it was announced in the in-game store description via newly added text. As discovered by TrueAchievements Earlier this week, the Xbox 360 version of Toy Story 3 now includes a new message announcing that at the end of September the game will be removed from the store to make way for the remastering, which is mentioned and announced directly in the added paragraph.
Here’s the full text from the Toy Story 3 Xbox Store page:
As of September 29, 2026, Toy Story 3 will no longer be available for purchase. Players who have purchased Toy Story 3 will still be able to access the game after this date. Toy Story 3: The Complete Edition will launch on October 15, 2026 on Xbox Series X|S and will include all the features of the original game with updated graphics and new additional features.
Toy Story 3 currently costs $10 on Xbox and can be played on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. Meanwhile, Toy Story 3: The Complete Edition will cost $20. As mentioned above, if you already own the original game, you will still be able to download and play it after September 29.
In fact, I’m very excited for both of them. Toy Story retro summary, a collection of old Toy Story games that will be playable on modern consoles, and Toy Story 3: The Complete Edition. I’ve always been a fan of old games being ported to new platforms to bring them to more people and make them easier to play.
But remove the original version of Toy Story 3 from the list Before the release of the next remaster it’s a shitty move on Disney’s part. You don’t have to do this. For example, Ubisoft has promised that it has no plans to remove Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag from any stores, despite recently releasing a new version of that game. This is how you do it. But I guess Disney wants that extra $10 from people looking to relive their nostalgic memories of playing Toy Story 3.
