Every edition comes with a second game. Ubisoft bundles Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition, the 2011 platformer now running at 4K and 60fps, into the $39.99 Standard Edition, so the Deluxe's extra $10 buys four costumes and an art gallery, nothing more.
Rayman Legends Retold price: how much is it?
Rayman Legends Retold costs $39.99 for the Standard Edition and $49.99 for the Deluxe Edition, on both the PlayStation Store and Steam. Microsoft's store data lists the Xbox Standard Edition at the same $39.99. In the UK it's £34.99 and £44.99, and in Germany €39.99 and €49.99. The Rayman Legends Retold release date is the same on every platform.
| Region | Standard Edition | Deluxe Edition | Store |

| United States | $39.99 | $49.99 | PlayStation Store, Steam |
| United Kingdom | £34.99 | £44.99 | PlayStation Store, Steam |

Nintendo's US eShop doesn't show a Switch 2 price yet, as of November 12. The physical Launch Edition is $39.99, per Nintendo Life. Ubisoft's store page also offers the game on release day through a Ubisoft+ subscription.
Rayman Legends Retold editions: Standard, Deluxe and Launch Edition
There are three editions plus an upgrade pack, and every pre-order gets the Hoodlum Havoc Pack, two costumes for Rayman and Globox inspired by Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc, per Ubisoft's edition breakdown.
| Edition | Format | What's in it |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Not specified (sold digitally on every store) | Base game, Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition |
| Deluxe | Digital only | Standard contents, the Retro Pack (4 costumes), the in-game Art Gallery |
| Launch Edition | Retail only | Base game, Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition, printed Glade of Dreams map, three lithographs, slipcase |
| Deluxe Upgrade Pack | Digital only | The Retro Pack and the Art Gallery |
The Retro Pack's four outfits are Classic Rayman for Rayman, Betilla the Fairy for Barbara, Retro Hunter for Globox and Electoon Teensie for Grand Minimus. On Switch 2, the boxed version is a game-key card: Nintendo Life's reminder says "Rayman Legends Retold is a Game-Key Card release on the Switch 2", so the box holds a key and the game downloads. Ubisoft's list has no upgrade offer for owners of the 2013 Rayman Legends; the only upgrade it sells is the Deluxe Upgrade Pack, from Standard to Deluxe.
What time does Rayman Legends Retold release?
Rayman Legends Retold unlocks at midnight local time on December 3 on PlayStation and Xbox, and at 15:00 UTC on Steam, going by each store's release data. The PlayStation Store lists 05:00 UTC in the US (midnight Eastern), midnight GMT in the UK, 23:00 UTC on December 2 in Germany and 13:00 UTC on December 2 in Australia, all midnight locally, and Microsoft's data gives the same US and UK times. Ubisoft hasn't published a release time, and Nintendo's eShop lists only December 3.
| Where | PS5 (store data; Xbox matches in the US and UK) | Steam (15:00 UTC, our conversion) |
|---|---|---|
| US Eastern | 12:00 a.m. ET, December 3 | 10:00 a.m. ET, December 3 |
| US Pacific | 9:00 p.m. PT, December 2 (Eastern midnight) | 7:00 a.m. PT, December 3 |
| UK | 12:00 a.m. GMT, December 3 | 3:00 p.m. GMT, December 3 |
| Germany | 12:00 a.m. CET, December 3 | 4:00 p.m. CET, December 3 |

| Australia (Sydney) | 12:00 a.m. AEDT, December 3 | 2:00 a.m. AEDT, December 4 |
The West Coast row applies to the US PlayStation Store, which uses a single 05:00 UTC moment for the country; Microsoft's data does the same.
Why was Rayman Legends Retold delayed?
Ubisoft delayed Rayman Legends Retold from October 1 to December 3 for polish, even though the game had already gone gold. The Rayman dev team's statement on September 14 said: "While the game has officially gone gold, we have decided to take extra time to make sure every detail gets the care it deserves." The new date puts it on our December 2026 release calendar, clear of the Zelda and GTA launches in November.
What's new in Rayman Legends Retold vs the original?
It's a full remake of the 2013 game, a "reimagining" in Ubisoft's words, with a new story and new content. Ubisoft's feature list covers 3D visuals, a brand-new story with fully voiced cinematics, a never-before-seen sixth realm, four new musical stages, dragon rides, new Cave of Trials challenges, the return of Kung Foot with improved controls and customizable rules, and an expanded soundtrack from Christophe Héral and Grant Kirkhope. The playable crew is Rayman, Globox, Barbara, Grand Minimus and Murphy.
Ubisoft Montpellier co-develops it with Ubisoft Milan. Brand producer Loïc Gounon said in Ubisoft's announcement that "Legends gave us the perfect foundation to expand Rayman's lore, its world logic, and how everything connects together."
Is Rayman Legends Retold on Switch 2, PS5 and PC?
Yes. Ubisoft lists PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC through the Ubisoft Store, Steam and the Epic Games Store, plus the GeForce Now and Blacknut streaming services. There's no PS4, Xbox One or mobile version on that list, and on Nintendo hardware it needs a Switch 2: it's on our upcoming Switch 2 games list, with no version for the original Switch.
On PC, Steam lists these Rayman Legends Retold system requirements, with a 33 GB install either way:
| Spec | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 | Windows 11 |
| CPU | Intel Core i3-8100 or Ryzen 3 3100 | Intel Core i5-8400 or Ryzen 5 3600 |
| RAM | 8 GB | 16 GB |
| GPU | GTX 1660, RX 5500 XT or Arc A580 | RTX 2060 Super, RX 5700 or Arc A750 |
| DirectX | 12 | 12 |
| Storage | 33 GB | 33 GB |
Steam's page also lists Denuvo Anti-Tamper with a limit of five machine activations a day, and a required Ubisoft account. Valve hasn't rated it for Steam Deck yet.
Is Rayman Legends Retold co-op and crossplay?
It's up to 4-player couch co-op for the whole adventure, per Ubisoft's store description, which also says you can race each other for Lums or knock each other off for Teensies, and Kung Foot returns as a competitive mode. Nintendo's listing gives 1 to 4 players and adds GameShare, locally and online, with Nintendo Switch Online needed for the online version. Steam tags it Cross-Platform Multiplayer and Remote Play Together. Before the reveal, My Nintendo News reported online co-op for up to four players, citing Dealabs; that's unconfirmed, and Ubisoft's own pages describe couch co-op only.
What we don't know yet
- The Switch 2 digital price and unlock hour.
- Whether there's online co-op or crossplay beyond Steam's tag.
- The Deluxe Upgrade Pack's price.
- The Steam Deck rating and the review embargo.
