The third film in the Sonic movie series adapts one of the most beloved stories of fans of the Blue Blur, and it’s gone down a hit with audiences.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 introduces the character Shadow the Hedgehog, voiced by Hollywood legend, Keanu Reeves. Team Sonic have a challenge on their hands when they face the Ultimate Life Form and another unexpected villain.
The game adaptation is full of action-packed sequences, making it a great choice if you want to head to the cinema this winter. However, if you’d prefer to catch the flick at home, we have everything you need to know.

When will Sonic the Hedgehog 3 be released on VOD?
Paramount has now confirmed that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is out now on VOD. It’s on Amazon US for $24.99 to buy and $19.99 to rent. It released at the end of January 2025.
There was a long wait for any news about the UK release, but that’s finally over. Paramount has now confirmed that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will be available on digital next Monday, 24 February 2025. You can currently pre-order it from Amazon for £13.99.
This is only for purchase. If you want to rent it, you’ll have to wait until the following Monday, March 10 2025.
When could Sonic the Hedgehog 3 be released on streaming services?
The first streaming service Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will land on should be Paramount+ – Sky customers in the UK can get a free subscription.
Paramount films typically land quite quickly after they debut on VOD, though the time scale varies. Smile 2 arrived around two weeks after it was released on digital, but A Quiet Place: Day One took 28 days.
Based on the VOD release date, we expect Sonic the Hedgehog 3 to arrive on Paramount+ in February 2025 in the US, though it could take longer in the UK.
It’s worth saying that Sonic 2 arrived on VOD and Paramount+ simultaneously. While that wasn’t the case in America, there is a chance that it could happen in the UK.
We could eventually see the film become available on other streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video as we’ve seen with previous Sonic titles, but this won’t be for a while.

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