Over the last decade or so, fans of Kingdom Hearts’ players have fallen on deaf ears. Since the first Kingdom Hearts release on March 28, 2002, PC gamers were expecting a port in the not-too-distant future. For roughly 19 years and nine installments later, it appears that our pleas were finally heard.
After much speculation and countless back-and-forth between fans and Square reps, we got what we all wanted. On March 30, 2021, Square Enix will release the PC port of our favorite Disney-based action RPG. The entire series will be split into four bundles, with their pre order prices in the picture below.
As far as we know, Square will update in-game or cinematic graphics. As sad as this is, it means even the most modest gaming rig should run all Kingdom Hearts games without issue. Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix requires just a Core i3-3210/AMD 87-7600 processor, 4 GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GT 730/AMD Radeon R7 240 GPU.
The most power-demanding title of the four—Kingdom Hearts III + Re Mind—needs at least a Core i5-3330/AMD Ryzen 3 1200, 8GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 760/AMD Ryzen 3 3100. All four packages will take up slightly more than 175 GB to install, which is probably the biggest hurdle. Thankfully, you won’t need to install all Kingdom Hearts games at the same time. Most PC games have very little or nothing at all to add to their current setup.
The Kingdom Hearts All-in-One Package retails $99.99 but goes on sale for just $24.regularly. As for the PC ports, you’re looking to spend upwards of $200 for all four titles. This is several times more than what most people were looking to spend on the series. Combine this with the fact that some of the titles are close to two decades old, as well as a lack of any significant updates in graphics, we’re not sure whether to laugh at the listed prices on the Epic Game store or cry.

While we understand that splitting the series between multiple bundles makes sense for players who only want to play a specific portion of the story, this price is far beyond what most fans expected to spend. Combine this with the fact that some of the titles are close to two decades old, as well as a lack of any significant updates in graphics, we’re not sure whether to laugh at the listed prices on the Epic Game store or cry. Still, we couldn’t be more excited by the upcoming release of the 11-game series. In just slightly more than a month from now, one of the most anticipated ports of the last decade will finally be available to play on PC. Make sure to check out Gammicks for the latest gaming news.
