Many of the changes were introduced in the Western releases of the game, but several are unique to this release. Several new changes and features have been made to expand on the original Japanese release of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. The game was remastered in HD and released outside of Japan for the first time as part of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX on PlayStation 3, and later Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game was released on January 20, 2011. It was first announced in the September 13 issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine. Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix was officially confirmed for release on September 14, 2010, a week after the North American release of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Much like its predecessors, Kingdom Hearts Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix combines English voice-overs with Japanese text and controls. Most plot and gameplay elements are the same, and the game also includes the features added to the North American and European versions of the game.
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix is a reissue of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep for the Sony Playstation Portable (PSP).
