Square Enix has announced the beloved Kingdom Hearts series is now available on Steam and can be purchased at a Discounted Price for a Limited Time. This marks the first time the entire Kingdom Hearts franchise will be available on the popular PC platform and will be Steam Deck compatible, opening up the magical world of Sora, Donald, and Goofy to a whole new audience.
The Steam release brings all three collections: Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, and Kingdom Hearts III + Re Mind (DLC) to the platform, with all optimized for both home or on-the-go play. This comprehensive collection spans the entire main storyline, from Sora’s humble beginnings on Destiny Islands to his epic battles against the forces of darkness across various Disney-inspired worlds.
For those who do not know the series, Kingdom Hearts is a unique blend of action role-playing and storytelling that combines original characters with beloved Disney and Pixar franchises. Players take on the role of Sora, a young boy chosen by the mysterious Keyblade to protect the worlds from the Heartless—creatures born from the darkness in people’s hearts.
Throughout his adventures, Sora is joined by Donald Duck and Goofy, who are sent by King Mickey to find the Keyblade wielder. Together, they traverse iconic Disney worlds, meeting characters from classic films like Aladdin, Fantasia, and Hercules, as well as more recent favourites like Toy Story, Big Hero 6 and Frozen, just to name a few.
The Kingdom Hearts series has been praised for its engaging gameplay, emotional storytelling, and stunning visuals that bring Disney worlds to life like never before. The games have shipped over 36 million copies worldwide since the first title’s release in 2002, cementing its status as a beloved franchise among Disney and Square Enix fans.
With the Steam release, PC gamers will finally have the opportunity to experience the magic of Kingdom Hearts for themselves. Both Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX and Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue will feature improved visuals and performance, taking advantage of the powerful hardware available on modern gaming PCs, while Kingdom Hearts III + Re Mind (DLC) will also receive the new platform exclusive Keyblade, known as the Dead of Night. Additionally, the Steam versions will include support for achievements and cloud saves, allowing players to track their progress and pick up where they left off across multiple devices.
With its timeless characters, unforgettable worlds, and heartwarming story, this beloved franchise is poised to capture the hearts of a whole new generation of gamers.
