Solo Leveling has taken the anime world by storm, surpassing One Piece to become the anime with the most reviews on Crunchyroll and securing 13 nominations ahead of the streaming service's 2025 Anime Awards. Almost a year after its initial airing, 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 be released 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 comes packed with additional Solo Leveling merchandise. Although the limited edition is priced nearly $30 higher than the standard Blu-ray, current discounts at the Crunchyroll Store make the prices nearly identical.

Solo Leveling follows the gripping journey of Sung Jinwoo, who scales his powers through a unique "System" that selects him as its only player. The first season, which aired in early 2024, consists of 12 episodes that cover approximately 45 chapters of the original manhwa. Following its success, a second season concluded in March, further boosting the anime's popularity.
Amazon lists the Solo Leveling Season 1 limited edition Blu-ray at its full price of $90. However, the Crunchyroll Store offers an exclusive 25% discount, reducing the price to $67.49.
