There’s a lot to love about the Kingdom Hearts franchise if you’re a JRPG fan, a Disney fanatic, and a Final Fantasy enthusiast. If you’re into borderline nonsensical plots, there’s plenty for you too. The game series which first launched in 2002 as a joint effort between Square Enix and Disney for the PlayStation 2 is now arriving on the Steam Store. To commemorate the franchise’s arrival, you can enter to win a Steam Deck signed by Tetsuya Nomura and other prizes thanks to a giveaway.

Announced on X, “fans are encouraged to enter the #KHonSteam sweepstakes, which is ongoing now through June 24, to celebrate the series’ arrival on Steam. Lucky winners can obtain various exciting prizes, such as a Steam Deck signed by Tetsuya Nomura, a Higround keyboard, game codes, and more,” notes the press release. Going on to say, “All three collections released today—KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX, KINGDOM HEARTS 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue and KINGDOM HEARTS III + Re Mind DLC—can be played both on PC and on-the-go on Steam Deck devices, and available at a special discounted price for a limited time.”

If you haven’t played a single game in the series, a great place to start is KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX. This is the place to begin when it comes to trying out the mainline games in the franchise. You can probably get other opinions from die-hard fans but, in my estimation, beginning with the most complete version of the very first game in the franchise makes the most sense. It’s likely you’ve at least seen or heard about the series, but it is worth experiencing for yourself if you’re a Disney fan or interested in JRPGs.

A full list of KINGDOM HEARTS titles available for purchase on Steam is as follows:

• KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX 
• KINGDOM HEARTS FINAL MIX  
• KINGDOM HEARTS Re:Chain of Memories  
• KINGDOM HEARTS II FINAL MIX  
• KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 Days
• KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep FINAL MIX
  

• KINGDOM HEARTS Re:coded 
• KINGDOM HEARTS 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue  
• KINGDOM HEARTS Dream Drop Distance HD  
• KINGDOM HEARTS χ Back Cover
• KINGDOM HEARTS 0.2 Birth by Sleep – A fragmentary passage –  
• KINGDOM HEARTS III + Re Mind
• KINGDOM HEARTS INTEGRUM MASTERPIECE

If you plan to pickup any of the games from this franchise for your PC or Steam Deck, let us know in the comments. I have yet to play Kingdom Hearts III so this might be a great excuse to dive into the game. If I’m lucky, I might even be playing it on a Tetsuya Nomura-signed Steam Deck later this year.
