Solo Leveling has taken the anime world by storm, passing One Piece as the anime with the most reviews on Crunchyroll and picking up 13 nominations ahead of the streaming service’s 2025 Anime Awards. Almost a year after the first season aired, Crunchyroll has unveiled a substantial physical release for North American audiences. A standard and limited edition Blu-ray of Solo Leveling Season 1 are now up for preorder, releasing on July 22.
Both editions feature all 12 episodes of the first season as well as a range of special features, but the limited edition steelbook includes additional Solo Leveling merch. While the limited edition is listed at almost $30 more than the standard Blu-ray, discounts at the Crunchyroll Store make the prices pretty much even.
Preorder the Solo Leveling Season 1 Limited Edition Blu-ray
Solo Leveling follows Sung Jinwoo’s power-scaling journey through a “System” that chooses him as its sole player. The first season aired in early 2024, running for 12 episodes that cover about 45 chapters of the original manhwa. A second season wrapped up in March, propelling the already popular anime adaptation to new heights.
Amazon has the preorder listing for Solo Leveling Season 1 at full price, a whopping $90, but the Crunchyroll Store is offering an exclusive 25% discount. The discount brings the price of the limited edition Blu-ray down to $69.49, a lower price than the standard version, which is currently listed on Amazon for $69.99. Both editions of Solo Leveling Season 1 on Blu-ray are estimated to ship on July 22.
Solo Leveling Season 1 Bonus Features
While most Blu-ray releases come with digital special features, the limited edition Solo Leveling throws in some stickers, art cards, and even a 68-page art book. It’s basically a whole gift set, as it should be at this price point. Here’s the full list of what’s included:

You Can Also Watch the First Season of Solo Leveling for Free
A physical release at this price is probably only going to be worth if you’re already a fan of the show. Thankfully, the entire first season of Solo Leveling is available on Crunchyroll for free with ads. The second season is also streaming on Crunchyroll, but is limited to Premium memberships.
