The game was released alongside ''Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX'' as ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX]]'' for the PlayStation 4 in March, 2017.
<!--==New features==
''Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX'' not only renders "year one" ''Kingdom Hearts'' games in HD, but also updates them to better fit in with the more recent installments in the series. For example, [[Sora]], [[Riku]], and [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]]'s models have been replaced with those from ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. The scripts of the "year one" games have been revised to be more consistent with the overall plot as it stands today. {{fact}} In terms of mechanics, the controls in ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'' are more similar to those of ''Kingdom Hearts II'' and the "?" command is replaced with a [[Reaction Command]] feature. In its place, the fourth command slot will be used for [[Summons]]. Cutscenes in ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'', which used English voice acting, are dubbed in Japanese, though the Unknown cutscenes are the only ''Final Mix''-exclusive cutscenes to use audio (as it uses spliced audio from the earlier encounters with Leon's group from the first visit in Traverse Town), and every cutscene from ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', whether it was originally a prerendered scene or used in-game graphics, will be remade for Theater Mode. Total running time amounts to 2 hours and 50 minutes.<!--for clarification: does this mean ANYTHING where you couldn't move and had to listen to somebody will be an HD, voiced video? Like Jack making the scarecrows?--> <!--No. The cutscenes that are important to the plot are the only ones that will be included. It is unknown, however, if certain gameplay (such as the Saix and Xion boss fights or the Deep Dive sequence) will be included as cutscenes or not-->

''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'' had its graphics and several character models remastered in high definition, and its background themes were remastered to match. The soundtrack has been completely re-orchestrated by Yoko Shimomura's original score team and performed by gaQdan.<ref>https://www.khinsider.com/news/KINGDOM-HEARTS-HD-1-5-ReMIX-Sound-Team-Interview-3249</ref> In addition, cutscenes were made skippable, and cutscenes that previously only had English voice acting now have Japanese voice acting as well. The combat system and HUD were revised for ease-of-use with influence from ''Kingdom Hearts II'', with the [[Summons]] menu moved to the fourth [[Command Menu]] slot, the commands that previously occupied that slot moved to {{button|t}}, and the right analog stick given control of the camera instead of the shoulder buttons. However, {{button|t}} still serves to call Donald and Goofy to Sora whenever a [[Reaction Command]] does not prevent the input. The [[EXP Zero]] and [[Combo Master]] abilities are now available. The ''{{wiki|finalfantasy|Final Fantasy X-2}}'' trailer that occupied the third slot on the game's opening menu is replaced with a Back command to return to the ''Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX'' game select menu.
