When could Sonic the Hedgehog 3 be released on VOD?

Paramount has not confirmed the digital release date for renting or purchasing Sonic 3. However, looking at the release patterns of other Paramount films, we can make some predictions.

The digital release dates vary based on box office performance. According to Variety, Sonic 3 is performing well, which is a positive indicator. Previous Paramount films like Smile 2 and A Quiet Place: Day One were released on VOD about a month after their theatrical release.

Based on these trends, we can expect Sonic the Hedgehog 3 to be available on VOD from late January 2025 at the earliest. However, if the film continues to perform strongly, Paramount may delay the release further.

There are rumors of a digital release date of January 31 on When to Stream, although Paramount has not confirmed this yet.

When could Sonic the Hedgehog 3 be released on streaming services?

The first streaming service to feature Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will likely be Paramount+, with Sky customers in the UK having access to a free subscription.

Paramount films typically arrive on streaming services shortly after their VOD release, with timing varying. If our prediction about the VOD release is accurate, we can expect Sonic the Hedgehog 3 to be on Paramount+ in February/March 2025.

It’s worth noting that Sonic 2 was available on VOD and Paramount+ simultaneously, so a similar release strategy could be used for Sonic 3.

Other streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video may eventually offer the film, but that could take some time.

When could Sonic the Hedgehog 3 be released on DVD/Blu-ray?

It’s difficult to predict the physical release date of Sonic 3 on DVD or Blu-ray, as there is no consistent pattern for Paramount films. The window between VOD and DVD release can range from two weeks to over 40 days.

More information will be provided as soon as it becomes available.
