Disney is quietly pulling Toy Story 3 from the Xbox digital store ahead of the remaster's launch — and it didn't even bother making a proper announcement. The news surfaced through newly added text on the game's Xbox Store page, spotted by TrueAchievements earlier this week.
The store listing now states that starting September 29, 2026, Toy Story 3 will no longer be available to purchase on Xbox. Anyone who already owns it can still download and play it after that date. The remaster — Toy Story 3: The Complete Edition — launches October 15, 2026 on Xbox Series X|S, featuring updated graphics and additional new features on top of the original game's content. The original currently costs $10; the remaster is priced at $20.
The delisting is a deliberate move to funnel nostalgic buyers toward the pricier new version rather than letting them grab the cheaper original. It's a stark contrast to how Ubisoft handled the Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag remake — the publisher explicitly committed to keeping the original on sale across all storefronts. Disney isn't extending the same courtesy here, even though the backward-compatible Xbox 360 version runs fine on Xbox One and Series X|S right now.
If you want the original at the $10 price point, September 29 is your deadline. Beyond that, Toy Story 3: The Complete Edition will be the only option — at double the cost.
