News: Xbox gamers will finally have the entire Kingdom Hearts franchise available to them in 2020.

The entire Kingdom Hearts franchise is heading to Xbox One. This was announced during Microsoft’s X019 presentation today when Square Enix representatives announced that, finally, the whole franchise will be available to those who have an Xbox. Kingdom Hearts 3 was released earlier this year on Xbox, marking the franchise’s debut on Microsoft’s platform. Jumping in on the “third” iteration was problematic for some though as a lot happened leading up to that release. Now you can start at the very beginning and see what lead up to those events you witnessed in Kingdom Hearts 3.

The titles that will be arriving on Xbox One include the following:

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 & 21.5 ReMIX

Kingdom Hearts Final Mix

Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (HD remastered cinematics)

Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix

Kingdom Hearts Re: coded (HD remastered cinematics)

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD

Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-

Kingdom Hearts X Back Cover (movie)

In addition, for anyone yet to experience Kingdom Hearts III, a free demo is now available, featuring the magical worlds of Hercules and Toy Story. The demo is available as a free download on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. In the demo, players will face off against the formidable Rock Titan in the picturesque, yet dangerous, world of Olympus from Disney’s Hercules. Players can also team up with beloved characters Buzz and Woody from Toy Story to take down the Heartless and explore Galaxy Toys.

For players eager to continue their adventure after the demo ends, save data until the end of the Hercules section can be transferred into the full retail version of Kingdom Hearts III. Additionally, the demo allows players to view the “Memory Archive” videos, a collection of essential cutscenes that allow players to get caught up on the story of Kingdom Hearts.

It was also hinted at by Phil Spencer that these Kingdom Hearts titles might enter the Game Pass library in 2020 so be sure to keep an eye out for confirmation on that.
