Rayman Legends Retold: Release Date, Price, PS5 and Switch 2

Rayman Legends Retold is out now, October 1, 2026, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC (Ubisoft Connect, Steam and the Epic Games Store), with day-one access on Ubisoft+. The Standard Edition costs $39.99, a digital-only Deluxe Edition is $49.99, and every edition pre-ordered came with the Hoodlum Havoc Pack, a free set of Rayman 3-inspired costumes. Co-developed by Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan, it's a 3D reimagining of 2013's Rayman Legends with a new story, fully voiced cinematics, a brand-new sixth realm, dragon rides and four new musical stages, plus a bundled copy of Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition.

What is Rayman Legends Retold?

Rayman Legends Retold is Ubisoft's reimagining of Rayman Legends, the 2013 platformer, rebuilt with modern 3D visuals rather than the original's hand-painted 2D look. According to Ubisoft's official announcement, the project is led by Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan, with associate studios in Annecy, Berlin, Bordeaux, Paris, Düsseldorf and Shanghai, and additional support from Pastagames.

The story follows Rayman, Globox, Barbara, Grand Minimus and Murphy as they try to restore peace to the Glade of Dreams after a shadowy villain spreads chaos across its realms. "Rayman Legends Retold is our way of revisiting what makes Rayman so special, and re-telling that experience for a new generation of players," Ubisoft brand producer Loïc Gounon said in the reveal, adding that the team used Legends "as the perfect foundation to expand Rayman's lore, its world logic, and how everything connects together."

It's playable solo or with up to four players in couch co-op, the same format Rayman Legends popularized over a decade ago, and like the earlier game it mixes platforming stages, boss fights and the music-synced levels the series is known for.

Rayman Legends Retold release date

Rayman Legends Retold's release date is October 1, 2026, confirmed by Ubisoft when the game was unveiled during a Sony State of Play in June 2026 and reiterated on the game's own Ubisoft Store product page. There was no staggered rollout by platform or region: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2 and PC versions all launched on the same day, alongside Ubisoft+ subscriber access and cloud availability through GeForce Now and Blacknut.

Where to buy it: platforms and storefronts

Rayman Legends Retold is available on every current-generation platform Ubisoft currently supports:

• PlayStation 5 via the PlayStation Store
• Xbox Series X|S via the Microsoft Store
• Nintendo Switch 2 via the Nintendo eShop
• PC via Ubisoft Connect, Steam and the Epic Games Store
• Cloud via GeForce Now and Blacknut
• Subscription via Ubisoft+ (Premium tier, $17.99/month)

Notably, there's no PS4 or Xbox One version — this is a current-gen and PC release only, which lines up with how demanding the new 3D visuals and 4K-capable bundled remaster are.

Rayman Legends Retold on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S

On PS5, Rayman Legends Retold runs with the full 3D remaster treatment and ships through the PlayStation Store at the same $39.99 Standard Edition price as other platforms. Ubisoft has not published a specific resolution/frame-rate target for the PS5 version in its press materials, so buyers should check the PlayStation Store listing for the current performance-mode details before purchase.

The Xbox Series X|S version launched the same day through the Xbox Store listing for Rayman Legends Retold, at identical $39.99 Standard Edition and $49.99 Deluxe Edition pricing. Ubisoft's Xbox hero art, used in its own marketing, bills it simply as a current-generation release aligned with the PS5, Switch 2 and PC versions announced alongside it.

Rayman Legends Retold on Switch 2

Nintendo Switch 2 is one of the four launch platforms confirmed in Ubisoft's own announcement, making this one of the bigger third-party platformers to land on Nintendo's new hardware so far. As with other recent Switch 2 third-party releases, it's worth checking the eShop listing to confirm whether your copy ships as a full cartridge or a Game-Key Card that requires a download, since Ubisoft has used key cards for some of its other Switch 2 titles. Given the original Rayman Legends was itself a Wii U launch-window game back in 2013, the series returning to new Nintendo hardware on day one is a notable change from how Ubisoft typically schedules its Switch ports. The game's official Nintendo product page lists the same Standard and Deluxe Edition contents as the other platforms, each bundled with Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition.

PC system requirements

For players buying through Ubisoft Connect, Steam or the Epic Games Store, Rayman Legends Retold's Steam listing specifies the following system requirements:

Those are modest requirements for a current-generation 3D platformer, and they suggest the game should also run comfortably on handheld gaming PCs sold through Steam.

Price and editions compared

Ubisoft is selling Rayman Legends Retold in four configurations: a Standard Edition, a digital-only Deluxe Edition, a retail-only Launch Edition, and a Deluxe Upgrade Pack for players who want to add Deluxe content after buying Standard. Every edition includes a copy of Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition, a 4K/60fps refresh of the earlier Rayman Origins with new collectibles, haptic feedback support and other quality-of-life updates.

The Retro Pack costumes included in the Deluxe Edition and Deluxe Upgrade Pack are the Classic Rayman Outfit, the Betilla the Fairy Outfit for Barbara, the Retro Hunter Outfit for Globox, and the Electoon Teensie Outfit for Grand Minimus — all throwbacks to earlier points in the series' visual history. The $49.99 Deluxe price and $39.99 Standard price are both listed directly on Rayman Legends Retold's Steam store page.

The Hoodlum Havoc Pack pre-order bonus

Everyone who pre-ordered any edition of Rayman Legends Retold received the Hoodlum Havoc Pack at no extra cost: a pair of cosmetic costumes for Rayman and Globox inspired by the look of Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc, the 2003 entry in the series. It's a purely cosmetic bonus with no gameplay effect, in keeping with how Ubisoft has handled pre-order incentives on its other recent remasters and remakes.

What's new and changed vs. the original Rayman Legends

The headline change is the jump from Rayman Legends' hand-drawn 2D art to full 3D visuals, but Ubisoft's own materials describe several gameplay and content additions beyond the visual overhaul:

• A new, sixth realm that didn't exist in the 2013 original, described by Ubisoft as "never-before-seen."
• Four new musical stages, joining the returning levels that made the original's rhythm-platforming segments a highlight.
• Dragon-riding sequences, a new traversal mechanic not present in Rayman Legends.
• A reworked story with fully voiced cinematics, replacing the largely wordless original presentation.
• An expanded Cave of Trials and a redesigned Kung Foot mode with new controls, power-ups and customizable rules.
• An expanded soundtrack blending the original's fan-favorite themes with new compositions by returning composers Christophe Héral and Grant Kirkhope.

Ubisoft frames this as a "reimagining" and "retelling" rather than a straight remaster, and the inclusion of a bundled Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition with every purchase effectively makes this a two-game package covering both of the studio's acclaimed 2D-era Rayman titles, now updated for current hardware.

Rayman Legends Retold also arrives as part of a broader trend of publishers revisiting beloved 2010s titles with modern engines and visuals rather than simple remasters, following other recent large-scale revivals of older open-world and platforming favorites across the industry. What sets Rayman Legends Retold apart from a typical remaster is the scope of the change: swapping 2D illustrated art for full 3D models and adding an entirely new realm goes further than a resolution and frame-rate bump, closer to how a developer might treat a full remake.

Co-op and how it plays

Rayman Legends Retold supports solo play and local couch co-op for up to four players, matching the format that helped make the 2013 original a favorite for playing with family and friends on one screen. Ubisoft's description emphasizes the same "leap, glide, and punch" platforming loop as before, now applied across both returning levels and the new sixth realm. The returning Kung Foot mini-game, a chaotic soccer brawl using the platforming cast, is specifically called out by Ubisoft as having "improved controls, power-ups, and customizable rules" compared with the 2013 version, suggesting it's meant to work as a standalone party mode rather than just a bonus extra.

Characters confirmed so far include Rayman, Globox, Barbara, Grand Minimus and Murphy, with a returning antagonist spreading chaos across the Glade of Dreams. Ubisoft's materials don't name every boss or world in detail ahead of launch, so some specifics about the new sixth realm's story content are best confirmed in-game rather than assumed from marketing copy.

Rayman Legends Retold also launched day one in the Ubisoft+ subscription catalog alongside its standalone release. Ubisoft+ Premium, which includes day-one access to new Ubisoft titles, is priced at $17.99 per month and can be canceled anytime, per Ubisoft's official pricing information. That makes it one of the lower-cost ways to try the game without committing to the $39.99 or $49.99 purchase price, though subscribers lose access to the game if they later cancel.

What's next

With Rayman Legends Retold now live across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2 and PC, the near-term story will be how well the new sixth realm and dragon-riding sections land with players who grew up on the 2013 original, and whether Ubisoft treats this as a one-off retelling or the start of a wider pattern of revisiting its back catalog in 3D. Ubisoft has not announced any post-launch DLC, season pass or additional content plans for Rayman Legends Retold beyond the pre-order Hoodlum Havoc Pack and the edition-based Retro Pack and Art Gallery add-ons.
