Fans of the Saw franchise have reason to celebrate. Lionsgate has teamed up with Amazon to release brand‑new 4K steelbook editions of Saw II, Saw III and Saw IV, and the retailer has just restocked the limited runs after preorders sold out in August. The three films are hitting 4K Blu‑ray for the first time and will be released on 21 October 2025. Each edition costs around $35 and includes the theatrical version of the film on 4K, a standard Blu‑ray disc and a digital code for streaming. The restock giv

es horror lovers one last shot to secure these collectible packages before their official launch.

Why the Restock Matters

The Saw series is notorious for its inventive traps and mind‑bending twists. Since James Wan and Leigh Whannell unleashed the first film in 2004, the franchise has spawned nine sequels and a devoted fan base. Over the years the films have been released on standard and Blu‑ray discs, but this is the first time that Saw II, Saw III and Saw IV are getting native 4K transfers. Amazon offered limited 4K steelbooks earlier this summer, but demand was so high that all three editions sold out almost immediately. The retailer’s decision to restock them ahead of next month’s launch is welcome news for collectors and for anyone who missed the initial preorders.

Besides their rarity, these steelbooks are noteworthy because of their unique packaging. Each set comes with a clear O‑ring sleeve featuring strategically placed artwork. When you slide the sleeve on and off, the graphics alter the look of the character on the cover, effectively giving fans two different cover designs. It’s a clever nod to the puzzles and layers of the films themselves and adds an interactive element to the packaging.

Technical Specifications and Picture Quality

Fans hoping for reference‑quality video and audio won’t be disappointed. According to HighDefDiscNews, the 4K discs present the films in 2160p resolution with the original 1.85:1 aspect ratio. They also support Dolby Vision and HDR10, bringing richer colors and deeper contrast. These discs feature Dolby Atmos soundtracks, meaning the whir of saw blades and the screams of Jigsaw’s victims will surround you with immersive overhead effects. It’s important to note, however, that Lionsgate chose to include the theatrical cuts rather than the unrated or director’s cut versions, a decision that has frustrated some hardcore fans. Each steelbook is a combo pack containing a 4K UHD disc, a 1080p Blu‑ray and a digital code, allowing you to watch on a range of devices.

Saw II Steelbook Highlights

The second film follows detective Eric Matthews as he becomes entangled in Jigsaw’s twisted game. The steelbook’s sleeve shows serial killer John Kramer in a hood and oxygen mask; sliding the sleeve off reveals falling jigsaw puzzle pieces. The back of the case depicts a pair of syringes—a nod to one of the film’s infamous trap rooms. In addition to the movie, the set is packed with special features:

• New featurettes: New Blood: Director Darren Lynn Bousman Looks Back, Appreciating Life: Actor Tobin Bell on Saw II and Establishing Shot with Darren Lynn Bousman.
• Legacy commentaries: three audio commentaries featuring director Darren Lynn Bousman and actors Donnie Wahlberg, Beverley Mitchell, production designer David Hackl, editor Kevin Greutert, executive producer James Wan and writer Leigh Whannell.
• Additional extras: The Scott Tibbs Documentary, The Story Behind the Story, Gregg Hoffman: In Memoriam, Bits and Pieces: The Props of Saw II and Zombie, a short student film by Bousman.

These supplements provide fascinating insight into the production and legacy of the sequel. Director commentaries and behind‑the‑scenes featurettes are invaluable for fans who want to understand how the franchise’s trademark traps were designed and filmed.

Saw III Steelbook Highlights

The third film raises the stakes as Jigsaw’s apprentice Amanda carries out his gruesome tests. The steelbook art features the creepy pig mask worn by one of the characters; removing the slipcase reveals the face underneath. On the back, Jigsaw stands in a doorway ready to ride his tricycle down a ramp. Bonus features in this set include:

• Exclusive featurettes: Making Your Own Choices: Darren Lynn Bousman Looks Back and The Clock Is Ticking: Actor Tobin Bell on Saw III.
• Multiple commentaries with the director, writer Leigh Whannell, producers Peter Block and Jason Constantine, and others.
• Behind‑the‑scenes segments covering the traps, props and writing of the film, plus deleted scenes and the featurette Amanda: The Evolution of a Killer.

This robust slate of extras complements the 4K presentation, making this release definitive for completists.

Saw IV Steelbook Highlights

In Saw IV, detective Rigg is put through a series of tests while the police investigate Jigsaw’s final legacy. Many fans feel this steelbook has the most striking design of the three: a giant illustration of Billy the Puppet’s mask adorns the front and back, and the clear sleeve lets you change the puppet’s eye color. Inside, the disc art depicts Jigsaw’s workshop, complete with the tools and tape recorder he uses to prepare his games.

Special features on this release are equally enticing:

• Legacy commentaries featuring director Darren Lynn Bousman, actor Lyriq Bent, producers Oren Koules and Mark Burg and executive producers Peter Block and Jason Constantine.
• Featurettes such as Game Over: Darren Lynn Bousman Looks Back and My Work Will Continue: Tobin Bell on Saw IV, plus Bousman’s video diary.
• Behind‑the‑scenes footage focusing on traps, props and the music video by X Japan.

These extras, combined with the improved 4K transfer, offer a comprehensive look at a pivotal entry in the franchise.

A Celebration of 20 Years of Gore

With the original Saw turning 21 years old this year, the release of these 4K steelbooks feels like a celebration of the franchise’s longevity. Jigsaw’s twisted morality plays have spawned a cultural phenomenon, influencing escape‑room events, Halloween attractions and inspiring a new generation of horror filmmakers. Watching the early sequels in 4K will allow fans to notice details that were previously lost on DVD or low‑bitrate streams. From the grimy texture of the traps to the subtle performances of Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith, the new transfers promise to make the films feel fresh again.

It’s worth noting that while many fans hoped for unrated cuts, Lionsgate opted for the theatrical editions. The unrated versions contain additional gore and extended scenes, so some viewers may still want to keep their old discs. However, the improved picture quality and generous bonus features should make these steelbooks a worthwhile upgrade.

How to Get Your Copy

Each 4K steelbook is exclusive to Amazon, and they’re expected to sell out quickly again. If you’re interested, you can preorder directly from Amazon via the Saw II steelbook page or by visiting GameSpot’s article for more details. The price of $35 per film is fairly standard for 4K steelbooks, especially considering the unique packaging and wealth of extras. If you’re a completist, you might also want to pick up the existing 4K release of the first movie, which Amazon currently lists at around $15.

Final Thoughts

Amazon’s restock of the Saw 4K steelbook editions is exciting for horror collectors and casual viewers alike. The combination of eye‑catching artwork, top‑notch picture and sound and comprehensive bonus features makes these releases some of the most attractive 4K horror offerings of the year. With the films arriving on 21 October 2025, there’s just enough time to revisit the original and get your preorders in before they sell out again. Whether you’re watching to relive the twisted games or exploring the series for the first time, these steelbooks will let you see and hear Saw in a way that would make Jigsaw proud.
