It's official and finally happening, the entire Kingdom Hearts franchise is coming to the PC platform. The entire series was once a console exclusive, but the critically acclaimed and fan favorite games will be coming to PC on March 30th as an Epic Games Store exclusive. At this point it is not known whether it is a timed exclusive and coming to Steam at a later date, or whether it's a full exclusive to the EGS.
Revealed at yesterday's Epic Games Store Spring Showcase, the entire Kingdom Hearts collection will include 4 games:
- Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX ($50/£39.99)

- Kingdom Hearts 3 + Re Mind (DLC) ($60/£49.99)

Yes there are. In fact, let's break down this very confusing situation. Some of the titles listed above actually include multiple titles within them as a sort of collection of games. It's mostly just the first two titles that are a little bit confusing in that regard, but here's a full breakdown:

Hmm, I still have no motivation to get into this series. Maybe if it goes on sale I'll bite. Also Epic still sucks.
PC Specs
ROFL at that price, I think I'll just sit this one out until I can get everything for 40 euros or less (maybe a steam release might rectify that) either way no freakin way I'm paying 200 euros for all that.
PC Specs
EGS is kinda lame but at least I won't have to mess around with emulators anymore
PC Specs
if it is only on Epic Games store, then it might as well still be on console.
PC Specs
Definitely interested in picking them up. I always wanted to give Kingdom Heaths a try, but never got a chance. So yeah, happy to see them porting it to PC. But dear lord, this is many games... I guess first step is stop being poor, second one is buy them all,... not sure about profits, but first step takes care of that. :-D Jokes aside, will need to decide where is best to start, I guess.
PC Specs
Yeah but EGS exclusive so thats gonna be a no for me. Guess ill use the alternative way to play those games.
PC Specs
In total in Australia, all these games cost $340
bruh oof
im waiting for a big sale where they drop all the way down in price since they aren't new games but i am so glad they're finally on PC
PC Specs
Sooooo... Where do I start?
PC Specs
How nice, I've never played a single game from this franchise, but now is the time, the time to wait for Epic to put them all out for free, maybe by next Christmas?
PC Specs
As a fan trapped into the series since 2004, good luck for those who will grab it and enjoy it...
But if you managed to survive without it till 2021 just do yourself a BIG pleasure and stay miles AWAY from this, you won't get out of it so easily.
PC Specs
Nice, no regional pricing and more expensive by over 2 USD in my region. That's why multiple launchers and competition is good, because now there's only 1 terrible price.
PC Specs
I never understood this mishmash xD
PC Specs
Game any good guys and gals?
PC Specs
I only played 1 on PS2 when i was a kid it was good but controls/gameplay interactions weren't good. I hope they fixed that.
PC Specs
1 is ok, 2 and Birth by Sleep are good but this is a japanese dev suddenly making PC ports so I would highly recommend waiting for the Steam release.
PC Specs
ohhhhhh yeahhhhh
