Tron: Ares is the latest entry in the long-running Tron franchise. The series began with the original Tron in 1982, followed by Tron: Legacy in 2010 and Tron: Ares in 2025. Starring Jared Leto, the movie was unfortunately a commercial flop. Because of this, Tron might never get another sequel despite having a mid-credits scene and an ending that sets up a sequel.
That said, the Nine Inch Nails soundtrack and the beautiful visuals are enough to give Tron: Ares a watch. If you missed it in theaters, here’s how you can watch it at home.
When Will Tron: Ares be Available Digitally
Tron: Ares will be available to buy or rent starting December 2, 2025, and will be available on the following platforms:
That said, good news for Tron fans who collect physical releases. Tron: Ares will also have a physical release and the movie will be available to buy in 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray and DVD, starting January 6, 2026.
When Will Tron: Ares Release on Streaming Platforms
As of writing, there is no confirmed release date for Tron: Ares on streaming platforms. Since the movie is getting a physical release, the streaming release might be a bit delayed. Usually, a movie begins streaming one to three months after the physical release.
However, this can also vary based on studio deals. Disney usually takes time with its streaming releases so we could see Tron: Ares on Disney+ by February or March 2026.
Do You Need to Watch Other Tron Movies Before Watching Tron: Ares
No, you don’t need to watch the 80s Tron or Tron: Legacy to understand Tron: Ares. The movie was made as a way of allowing new audiences to enjoy the franchise without having any knowledge of what happened in the entire (watch) order of Tron movies.
That said, without spoiling anything, if you do have the time, you should definitely watch Tron (1982) and Tron: Legacy. The movie has a bunch of Easter eggs and references to those movies, and an interesting surprise for longtime Tron fans.
