Solo Leveling has captivated the anime community, surpassing One Piece in reviews on Crunchyroll and securing an impressive 13 nominations for the 2025 Anime Awards. Nearly a year after its debut season, 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, set to release on July 22.

Both editions include all 12 episodes of the first season along with a variety of special features. The limited edition steelbook, however, comes with additional Solo Leveling merchandise. Although priced at nearly $30 more than the standard version, the Crunchyroll Store's discounts bring the prices to a comparable level.

Solo Leveling follows the gripping journey of Sung Jinwoo as he navigates a unique "System" that selects him as its only player. The first season, which aired in early 2024, comprises 12 episodes covering approximately 45 chapters of the original manhwa. The second season concluded in March, further boosting the anime's popularity.

Amazon lists the Solo Leveling Season 1 Blu-ray at the full price of $90, but the Crunchyroll Store offers an exclusive 25% discount, reducing the cost of the limited edition to $67.49. This makes it cheaper than the standard edition, which is currently listed at $69.99 on Amazon. Both editions are expected to ship on July 22.

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."
