With 2024 coming to a close, Im looking back on everything that happened with4KBlu-ray over the past year.
Needless to say, its been a year of ups and downs.
Without Sony, movies likeDeadpool & Wolverinewouldn’t have made it to 4K Blu-ray
Weve seen some excellent releases, especially from independent distributors.
Weve also seen brands and retailers exit the 4K Blu-ray market, whether its selling discs or players.
But 2024 really has been a rollercoaster year for us 4K Blu-ray fans.

So what did happen in the world of 4K Blu-ray in 2024?
I boughtThe Warriorsfrom Arrow Video US and its an incredible release.
However, an unexpected savior appeared whenSony agreed to take over distribution rights for Disneys physical media.
My 4K Blu-ray obsession accelerated in 2024, with the best purchase being this stunning 4K Blu-ray Special Edition ofThe Warriorsfrom Arrow Video. Who knows what I’ll add in 2025?
It was some much-needed good news for the world of 4K Blu-ray.
While some players are still available on the second-hard marketplace, you could expect stock to become increasingly scarce.
Despite more woes, some retailers have decided to get on the 4K Blu-ray train.
I’ll be testing the best 4K Blu-ray releases as much as I can in 2025, so expect more Blu-ray Bounty!

So, whats the outlook for 4K Blu-ray in 2025?
Honestly, I’m hopeful.
Spending more time with 4K Blu-ray has also fuelled my obsession.
But, thats the state of Blu-ray for us here at TechRadar.
What about the wider world?
Again, signs point to a minor revolution.
Id list more cases from 2024, but wed be here all day.
Another frustration Ive found is the constant hot potato that these streaming services play with movies and TV shows.
With discs, you own the content and its there to watch.
