It was released on the PlayStation Network for PlayStation 3 and the Xbox Live Arcade for Xbox 360 on the 21st March, 2012. ''Rayman 3 HD'' features minor enhancements to visuals, such as a remade HUD, and makes a few changes in numerous areas. It was announced that the servers would shut down on November 11, 2017 or November 19, 2018, thus making the leaderboards inaccessible.<ref>[https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthread.php/1241617-Online-Services-Update-Masterlist-Forums Online Services Update Masterlist]</ref> This did however not turn out to be the case and the servers are still up in 2022.

It was announced on the 9th November, 2015 that ''Rayman 3 HD'' would be among the first group of titles that were to be Xbox One backward compatible.<ref>[http://news.xbox.com/2015/11/09/introducing-your-first-104-xbox-one-backward-compatibility-games/ Introducing Your First 104 Xbox One Backward Compatible Games]</ref> This version was updated with a new logo and fixed minor graphical glitches.

==Differences from ''[[Rayman 3]]''==
* The ''Hoodlum Havoc'' subtitle has been removed, and the font of the logo has been changed to match that of ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.
* The game now features subtitles for the cutscenes and some other in-game dialogue.
* The original version opened with a gameplay trailer cut to Groove Armada's 'Madder'. This has been removed and replaced with a new trailer featuring new music.
* The intro sequence originally began with the classic [[Ubisoft|Ubi Soft]] logo, used for the first three [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' games]], overlaid against a night sky. This has been cut.
* ''Rayman 3 HD'' features audio problems. Many music tracks start later than they should, and often contain glitches.
* In [[the Fairy Council]], a [[Ludiv]] originally spoke the line 'Oh my God, what is going on here?' In ''Rayman 3 HD'', this line is censored to 'What is going on here?' However, the words 'Oh my God' seen in the [[Crush]] minigame remain uncensored.
* Parts of the sky above the [[Clearleaf Forest]] have become black, and the colour of the water has undergone strange changes. The reasons for such discolourings are currently unknown.
* The bonus section of the game contains an "extra" which is a gallery of the artworks seen in the ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' [[The Art of Rayman Origins|art booklet]] which came with the collector's edition.
* The shadows of objects and characters have been known to glitch up, often passing directly through surfaces and appearing/disappearing at random. The shadows also sometimes are not cast according to the location of the light source, and instead appear directly beneath the caster. This is likely due to a lack of testing when experimenting with the newer shading technology.
* The [[jewel]]s and [[Red Lum]]s now cast light onto the geometry around them, as opposed to [[Rayman 3|the original version]], where only a glowing texture was placed around them.
* The [[Grand Minimus]]'s crown is now transparent.
* Level scores are now shown at the end of boss battle sections.
