The anime world has been captivated by *Solo Leveling*, which has soared past *One Piece* to become the most reviewed anime on Crunchyroll and secured 13 nominations for the 2025 Anime Awards. Following the success of its first season, which aired nearly a year ago, Crunchyroll has announced a significant physical release for North American fans. Both a standard and a limited edition Blu-ray of *Solo Leveling* Season 1 are now available for preorder, with a release date set for July 22.
Each edition contains all 12 episodes of the first season, along with an array of special features. However, the limited edition steelbook goes a step further by including exclusive *Solo Leveling* merchandise. While the limited edition is priced at nearly $30 more than the standard Blu-ray, special discounts at the Crunchyroll Store bring the prices to almost the same level.

*Solo Leveling* follows the power-scaling journey of Sung Jinwoo, chosen by a mysterious "System" as its sole player. The first season, which aired in early 2024, comprises 12 episodes that adapt about 45 chapters of the original manhwa. The second season concluded in March, further boosting the anime's popularity.
Amazon lists the preorder for *Solo Leveling* Season 1 at the full price of $90, but Crunchyroll Store offers an exclusive 25% discount, reducing the limited edition Blu-ray to $67.49. This makes it even cheaper than the standard version, currently listed at $69.99 on Amazon. Both editions are expected to ship on July 22.
Solo Leveling Season 1 Bonus Features
While standard Blu-ray releases often include digital extras, the limited edition of *Solo Leveling* Season 1 comes packed with additional physical items such as stickers, art cards, and a 68-page art book. This comprehensive package is well-justified at its price point. Below is a detailed list of the included features:
SPECIAL FEATURES
- Textless Opening & Ending Songs
- Promo Video Collection
- Character Video Collection
- 7-Day Countdown Videos
- Episode Previews
- Recap Episode 7.5
- The Leveling of Solo Leveling Documentary
LIMITED EDITION FEATURES
- 68-page art book featuring:
- An exclusive with Action Director Yoshihiro Kanno
- Japanese cast & staff interviews
- Hand-selected stills
- 4 art cards
- Sticker sheet
For those who are already fans of the series, the physical release at this price is a worthwhile investment. However, if you're new to *Solo Leveling*, you can watch the entire first season for free on Crunchyroll with ads. The second season is also available on Crunchyroll, but it requires a Premium membership.
From IGN's Solo Leveling Season 1 Review:
"The first season of *Solo Leveling* brings gaming mechanics to animation, with a thrilling power fantasy that understands the tediousness of experience farming, the fun of gaining a new level and skill points, and the thrills of facing down a boss."
