Prey finally gets “beautiful” 4K & Blu-ray release and fans are overjoyed

Prey, the prequel to the 1987 Predator movie, is now getting an incredible 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray physical release of its own, much to the joy of fans.

Prey, the successful Predator prequel, starring Amber Midthunder and directed by Dan Trachtenberg, had been getting rave reviews from critics and audiences alike ever since it dropped on Disney+ and Hulu.

The movie dropped solely on streaming, which was somewhat of a disappointment, as fans believed it deserved a big screen release. Another issue was that we are currently at an age where digital media is being lost forever, due to studio execs deleting it from streaming platforms, and fans having no other way to access it.

Thankfully, that fate will not befall Prey, as the movie is now coming out with it’s own physical release.

When and where can I purchase Prey?

Prey will be available to buy physically in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD on October 3, 2023, which will be available via Amazon and other retailers.

There will also be a collector’s edition steelbook for the 4K edition, designed by Attila Szarca, exclusively from Best Buy.

There aren’t any pre-order links right now, but we’ll update this space as soon as they’re live or we know more details.

Each physical version will have numerous special features, such as the full-length Comanche audio track, and a ton of bonus content, which includes:

Prey fans are understandably ecstatic about this release, and took to Twitter to express this joy. “I speak for EVERYONE when I say we WILL be buying this” said one user, while “I prey you all will play this” punned another.

A lot of the excitement came from the “victory for psychical media.” Check out more of the responses below:
