The anime phenomenon Solo Leveling has skyrocketed in popularity, surpassing even One Piece with the most reviews on Crunchyroll and securing an impressive 13 nominations for the 2025 Anime Awards. Nearly a year after its debut, Crunchyroll has announced a significant physical release for North American fans. Preorders are now open for both the standard and limited edition Blu-ray sets of Solo Leveling Season 1, scheduled for release on July 22.
Both editions include all 12 episodes of the first season along with a variety of special features. However, the limited edition steelbook offers additional Solo Leveling merchandise.

Solo Leveling follows the protagonist Sung Jinwoo on his power-scaling journey through a unique "System" that designates him as its sole player. The first season, which aired in early 2024, comprises 12 episodes that adapt approximately 45 chapters of the original manhwa. The second season, which concluded in March, further boosted the anime's acclaim.
While Amazon lists the limited edition Blu-ray at the full price of $90, the Crunchyroll Store offers a 25% discount, bringing the price down to $67.49. This makes it even more affordable than the standard version, which is currently priced at $69.99 on Amazon. Both editions are set to ship on July 22.
In addition to the episodes, the limited edition Blu-ray comes packed with exclusive merchandise, transforming it into a collector's gift set. Here's a comprehensive list of what's included:
