Although cinematic adaptations of video games can be quite variable, Until Dawn stands out as a notable endeavor thanks to the film’s unique interpretation of the game’s interactive mechanics. If you overlooked its theatrical release, you can now enjoy Until Dawn from the coziness of your living room. You may rent or purchase the digital version from Prime Video for $20-$25. For those who favor physical copies and are willing to wait, Until Dawn’s 4K Blu-ray combo edition is available for preorder at Amazon and Walmart in anticipation of its July 8 launch date.

In case you missed it, Until Dawn presents a unique storyline and takes place within the same realm as the video game. The character Dr. Hill, portrayed by Stormare, links the game and film together as he features in both formats. Another connection to the game is the movie’s similar tone and atmosphere, as the primary characters find themselves trapped in a time-loop where they often meet their demise in various gruesome ways. The sole method to escape this relentless cycle is to survive???until dawn. The film has garnered mixed reviews, yet if you’re in the mood for a campy horror-comedy with stylish direction, Until Dawn is certainly a delightful watch.

PlayStation Movie & TV Adaptations
As previously noted, PlayStation Productions has three films to date: the 2022 adaptation of Naughty Dog’s Uncharted, the 2023’s Gran Turismo, and the recent Until Dawn. However, the studio’s most significant success—by a considerable margin—is The Last of Us, which is set to air its Season 2 finale this Sunday, May 26. Additionally, PlayStation Productions is working on numerous other adaptations at varied stages of production, which include the Resident Evil reboot set for 2026, Horizon Zero Dawn, Ghost of Tsushima, and a Uncharted sequel.
Moreover, several films and television shows based on PlayStation titles existed prior to the establishment of PlayStation Productions, such as Ratchet & Clank and Heavenly Sword, which saw a new Blu-ray release last year. Although it’s not technically a PlayStation series, the animated feature Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children acted as a sequel to the acclaimed PS1 console exclusive produced by Square Enix.
Most current film and television adaptations derived from PlayStation video games can be found on Blu-ray or 4K Blu-ray. The Last of Us Season 1 has recently launched a Steelbook Edition, and Uncharted’s Steelbook Edition features Nathan Drake’s ring/necklace. Gran Turismo also offers a Steelbook Edition, which is limited to Walmart and is the 1080p Blu-ray variant.
