The highly sought-after 4K Steelbook Edition of Five Nights at Freddy`s is making a comeback to major retailers on November 11. This is excellent news for fans who missed out on the initial release, which saw copies reselling for significantly inflated prices, often exceeding $60. The reprinted Steelbook Edition will be available for $35, with some retailers offering a pre-order discount of $5. This comprehensive edition includes the film on 4K Blu-ray, 1080p Blu-ray, and a digital version.
The re-release is perfectly timed for viewers to revisit the first film before the theatrical debut of Five Nights at Freddy`s 2 on December 5. Besides the Steelbook Edition reprint, another exclusive collectible is on the horizon. The Five Nights at Freddy`s Ultimate Collector`s Edition will launch exclusively on Amazon on October 7, featuring its own unique steelbook case along with several other exclusive items. Both the reprinted Steelbook and the Ultimate Collector`s Edition share the same on-disc content as the Five Nights at Freddy`s Night Shift Edition, which is currently available for $27 (originally $34).

The Five Nights at Freddy`s film, released in 2023, garnered significant success, particularly with younger audiences (rated PG-13). This adaptation of the beloved video game and comic series centers on a security guard who takes on a night shift at a dilapidated establishment reminiscent of Chuck E. Cheese. He must survive a terrifying night as ghost-possessed giant animatronics come to life. Despite its peculiar premise, the film delivers effective horror, thanks to the creative talent involved in its production.
Following its debut, Five Nights at Freddy`s shattered box office records, becoming Blumhouse`s highest-grossing film of all time with global earnings surpassing $291 million. This immense success swiftly led to the greenlighting of a sequel, which is slated for theatrical release on December 5.
