Who Is This Collection For?
This collection targets players who own PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, or Nintendo Switch and want to experience the entire Kingdom Hearts saga without owning older consoles. It is ideal for newcomers who missed the PlayStation 2, PSP, 3DS, and PlayStation 4 releases, as well as returning fans seeking higher frame rates and faster load times on modern hardware.
No official performance data has been released. Previous ports on PlayStation 4 (e.g., Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX) ran at 60 frames per second on PS4 Pro. The collection likely targets 4K resolution and 60 fps on current-gen consoles, but Square Enix has not confirmed these specifications.

Kingdom Hearts III is not confirmed for the collection. Past HD compilations stopped before III; Square Enix may offer it separately. TheMovieBlog notes that "III is a common question, but no announcement has been made."

No PC version has been announced. The collection is reported only for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The Epic Games Store currently sells individual Kingdom Hearts titles on PC.

Square Enix has not announced pricing. The Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX launched at $49.99 USD on PS4. Analysts estimate a $59.99 or $69.99 USD price point for the modern collection, but this is speculative.
