Disney is delisting the Xbox 360 version of Toy Story 3 from the Microsoft Store, with the removal set to occur on September 29, 2026. This action precedes the release of "Toy Story 3: The Complete Edition," a remastered version of the game scheduled for launch on October 15, 2026. The announcement of the delisting was made through an update to the game's store description rather than a formal public statement.
Players who have already purchased the original Toy Story 3 will retain access to the game even after it is removed from digital purchase. The original Xbox 360 version is currently available for $10 and is playable on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S through backward compatibility. The upcoming "Complete Edition" will be priced at $20 and is expected to feature updated graphics and additional content.
The decision to delist the original game has drawn criticism, with comparisons made to other publishers who have committed to keeping older titles available alongside remakes or remasters. For instance, Ubisoft has stated it has no plans to remove Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag from storefronts following its remake announcement. This move by Disney has been characterized by some as an attempt to drive sales of the new edition by limiting access to the original.
