When Sonic the Hedgehog 2 raced into theaters in April 2022, it didn’t just break the "video game movie curse"—it obliterated it.

Whether you’re picking up the standard 1080p release or the 4K Ultra HD combo pack, here is everything you need to know about the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Blu-ray experience.
