This comes nearly two months after the Jared Leto-led movie was released in theaters, where it didn’t perform well at the box office. It only earned a worldwide gross of $142 million against a budget of around $180-220 million.

“Get ready for the electrifying action and adventure of Tron: Ares. When a highly sophisticated Program named Ares is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, it marks humankind’s first encounter with AI beings,” reads the movie’s official synopsis.

Tron: Ares will be available to rent or own on digital platforms starting on December 2, 2025. It will then release on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on January 6, 2026.

Disney is also releasing a limited-edition SteelBook featuring custom artwork and packaging that evokes the franchise’s glow, speed, and high-tech aesthetic. In addition, the Tron franchise will be getting a 3-Movie Collection, which includes the 1982 classic, Tron: Legacy, and Tron: Ares.
