So, you’re finally ready to see Jack Black yell "I am Steve" in 4K. I get it. Honestly, after years of development hell and some pretty divisive trailers, A Minecraft Movie actually turned out to be a massive box office monster. It pulled in nearly a billion dollars worldwide, which is wild considering how much people were dunking on the CGI sheep just a few months ago.
If you missed the theatrical run back in April 2025, or you’re just looking to rewatch Jason Momoa as "The Garbage Man" from your couch, you’ve got options. But depending on whether you want to pay per view or just use a subscription you already have, the "where" and "how" varies a bit.
Where to watch the minecraft movie on streaming right now
Basically, if you want to stream this without paying an extra fee, you need a Max subscription. Since the film was produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, it was always destined to land on their home platform.
It officially hit Max on June 20, 2025.

It’s been sitting there for months now, so if you have an active account, you can just search for it and hit play. One cool detail they added for the streaming launch was an American Sign Language (ASL) version, which features Deaf interpreter Sophia Morales. You usually find that as a separate entry in the Max interface, or under the "Extras" tab.
If you don't have Max, you might be wondering about Netflix. After all, Netflix is getting an animated Minecraft series (eventually). But for the live-action movie? No dice. At least not for a long time. Warner Bros. keeps their big hits exclusive to Max to drive up those subscriber numbers. Maybe in late 2026 or 2027 it might hop over to Netflix for a licensed window, but for now, it's Max or nothing for "free" streaming.
Renting or buying digital copies
Not everyone wants to sub to Max just for one movie. I feel that. If you’d rather just own the thing or rent it for a movie night, the digital release actually happened way back on May 13, 2025.

You can find it on all the usual suspects:
- Amazon Prime Video (Buy or Rent)
- Apple TV / iTunes
- Fandango at Home (formerly Vudu)
- Google Play / YouTube Movies
Renting it usually sets you back about $19.99 for a 48-hour window. Buying the digital 4K version is usually around $24.99. If you're a collector of physical media, the 4K Blu-ray and DVD sets finally hit shelves in late June 2025, right around the same time as the streaming launch. Walmart even did a few exclusive "Steelbook" versions that sold out pretty fast because, well, people love blocky collectibles.
Why did it take so long to get to streaming?
Warner Bros. Discovery was actually pretty smart—or "greedy," depending on who you ask—with this one. Usually, movies hit streaming 45 days after theaters. But A Minecraft Movie was such a surprise hit, grossing over $950 million, that they stretched the theatrical window.

They kept it in theaters for nearly ten weeks before even letting people rent it at home.
By the time it hit Max in June, it had already become the highest-grossing domestic release of early 2025. People were genuinely curious to see how Jared Hess (the Napoleon Dynamite guy) handled the Overworld. Even with the "rotten" critic scores, the audience score stayed high because, let's be real, kids don't care about cinematography—they just want to see a Creeper blow up.
What about the sequel?
If you've already watched the movie three times on Max and you're craving more, you should know that A Minecraft Movie 2 is already in the works. Warner Bros. didn't waste any time after seeing those box office receipts. It's currently slated for July 23, 2027.
Rumor has it they’re going to lean way more into the "survival" aspects of the game for the second one, and we might actually see more of Alex (who had that tiny cameo in the post-credits scene).
Actionable Next Steps:
- Check your subscription: If you have Max, you can watch it right now at no extra cost.
- Check for bundles: If you don't have Max, look into the Disney+/Hulu/Max bundle. It’s often cheaper than buying them individually if you’re planning a binge-watch session.
- Digital Purchase: If you want the "behind the scenes" features and the "Making of the Overworld" documentary, buying the digital version on Apple TV or Amazon is the only way to get those extras.
- Physical Media: For the best picture quality (HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos), grab the 4K UHD Blu-ray. Streaming bitrates just can't compete with a physical disc when it comes to those vibrant, blocky landscapes.
