Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse's 4K Blu-Ray Special Features, Release Date

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse swung into theaters last December and immediately broke records, netting $35.4 million in its first three days and marking the highest December opening for any animated film. The film also won the Oscar for Best Animated Film of 2018, an award that usually goes to Disney and Pixar films. In GameSpot's review of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, critic Meg Downey called it "the perfect superhero film" and "an instant animated classic." So it's no wonder we've been eagerly counting down the day until the release date for the 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD versions of this fantastic movie.

Luckily, we won't be waiting much longer. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is already available for digital download, but the animated film will release in 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD formats on March 19. Depending on which format and retailer you decide to go with, different bonuses and collectibles are being offered along with a copy of the movie.

Where to stream Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse

Digital copies of Spider-Verse are already available to buy now, and if you buy the film from the iTunes store, Microsoft, Vudu, or Fandango Now, you'll receive all the special features listed above. Be aware that the Amazon's digital version does not include any special features, and the Google Play Store's digital version does not appear to offer them either.

On that note: If you were a fan of Spider-Man: Homecoming, Google Play is offering a bundle where you can get both movies in HD for just $27, which is a pretty sweet deal.

Purchasing from iTunes will get you an additional, exclusive special feature: IN-GWEN-TION, a behind-the-scenes look at the design and development of Gwen Stacy / Spider-Gwen.

Microsoft also has a nice bonus for Xbox owners: if you purchase a digital version of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse before March 12, you'll receive a code for two weeks of Xbox Game Pass for free. The code will arrive in your Xbox Live Messaging Center within 10 days of purchasing the film. If you've been curious to try Xbox Live's game subscription service, here's a great chance to give it shot. This offer is valid until 11:59 PM PST on March 11 / 2:59 AM EST on March 12.
