Soccer Kid Collection Set for Mid‑June Release on PC and Consoles

QuByte is packaging the original SNES and MS‑DOS builds with save states, CRT filters, a historical gallery and other preservation tools.

Overview

  • The collection, which is due in mid‑June 2026, will release on PC via Steam and on PlayStation 4 and 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Series X|S according to publisher announcements and multiple outlets.
  • Reports differ on the exact date and price with two outlets naming June 18 and one naming June 16 and a $9.99 price, so final timing and retail cost remain unconfirmed until platform storefronts list the product.
  • Soccer Kid Collection bundles the original Super Nintendo and MS‑DOS versions in one package rather than new remakes, preserving the authentic builds for modern systems.
  • The reissue adds concrete preservation and presentation features including save states, options for CRT-style filters and multiple aspect ratios, plus a digital gallery of original boxes, manuals and ads.
  • Soccer Kid first launched in 1993 and uses a football as the player’s core tool and weapon; this release aims to make the cult 16‑bit platformer accessible to nostalgic players and newcomers while tying marketing to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
