Detective Pikachu 4K Steelbook Edition Available for $28 on Amazon

The Detective Pikachu Limited Edition Steelbook (4K Blu-ray) is currently on sale at Amazon for just $28. This price matches its all-time low for this charming live-action Pokémon film`s collectible version. Released in late April, this 4K Blu-ray edition had previously seen its price climb as high as $42.49 last month and before its launch.

Detective Pikachu originally launched on Blu-ray in 2019, with Best Buy offering an exclusive steelbook edition at the time. That particular version is no longer available and frequently commands exorbitant prices on resale markets like eBay. This new 4K edition, however, comes with a distinct steelbook design, prominently featuring Ryme City`s renowned detective.

This latest Limited Edition Steelbook for Detective Pikachu includes both 4K Blu-ray and 1080p Blu-ray discs, alongside a voucher for a digital copy, redeemable until June 30, 2027. The steelbook`s front and back covers showcase Pikachu`s iconic smiling face with Ryme City in the background. The interior artwork is a memorable screenshot from the film, depicting Tim Goodman with Pikachu perched on his shoulder. From a technical standpoint, this is an upscaled 4K Blu-ray edition, featuring support for HDR10 and multiple enhanced audio tracks, including Dolby Atmos, TrueHD 7.1, and Digital 5.1. Additionally, all 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray editions of Pokémon Detective Pikachu come with the following bonus features:

• Alternate opening
• My Pokémon Adventure featuring Justice Smith
• Mr. Mime’s Audio Commentary (one scene)
• Ryan Reynolds: Outside the Actor’s Studio
• `Carry On` Music Video
• Creating the World of Detective Pikachu featurettes
  • Welcome to Ryme City
  • Bringing Pokémon to Life
  • Uncovering the Magic
  • Colorful Characters
  • Action

It is worth noting that the standard editions of Detective Pikachu are typically more affordable. Currently, the 4K Blu-ray edition is priced at $15, and the 1080p Blu-ray is available for $8.

Detective Pikachu played a pivotal role in reshaping perceptions and expectations for video game adaptations. It also established a blueprint for live-action adaptations of other beloved game franchises with similar animated graphical styles. For a time, until The Super Mario Bros. Movie shattered records in 2023, Detective Pikachu held the title of the highest-grossing video game adaptation ever. Even at the start of 2025, it maintained its second-place position, though it was quickly surpassed by Sonic the Hedgehog 3 earlier in the year, and subsequently by A Minecraft Movie, which nearly became the second video game adaptation to achieve $1 billion at the box office.
