Minions & Monsters Is Coming Home: Digital, 4K UHD, and Blu-ray Release Dates Revealed (With 45 Extra Minutes)

Minions & Monsters digital and 4K release

The yellow guys are coming to your living room

Good news for everyone who's been waiting to watch Minions & Monsters without fighting for a theater seat: the 2026 hit is officially heading home. Universal and Illumination have confirmed digital, 4K UHD, and Blu-ray release dates — and the home release comes with a serious bonus: roughly 45 extra minutes of content.

When can you watch it?

Per the announcement, Minions & Monsters will hit digital platforms and physical media in August 2026, with the 4K UHD and Blu-ray editions carrying the biggest haul of extras. The additional 45 minutes reportedly include deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and maybe a few surprises for franchise fans. If you're a collector who still buys physical media (no judgment — 4K discs are elite), this is the version to get.

What is Minions & Monsters, again?

The film is the latest chapter in the Despicable Me universe, the billion-dollar franchise from Illumination that gave us Gru (voiced by Steve Carell), his adorable daughters, and of course, the Minions themselves. This time around, the little yellow chaos agents find themselves facing actual monsters — and, naturally, turning the whole thing into a comedy of errors. The movie has already pulled in over $176 million domestically, and it's been holding strong in the box office top 10 since its release, sandwiched between heavy hitters like Toy Story 5 and Moana (which is still in theaters, by the way).

Why this matters

Home releases like this are a big deal for families — and for millennials who grew up on the franchise and now have kids of their own. The 45 extra minutes make it a legit event release, not just a cash grab. Plus, with streaming prices climbing, owning the 4K disc is starting to look like the smart play again.

Mark your calendar, grab the popcorn, and get ready for the Minions to invade your TV. Minions & Monsters is available digitally and on 4K UHD/Blu-ray this August.
