Sonic 3 is now on streaming, but don't race to your couches just yet. Surprisingly, the Blue Blur's Paramount Plus rollout isn't a worldwide one, meaning there are a handful of regions who will be waiting (im)patiently for their chance to watch the threequel from the comfort of their own homes.

So, you may be wondering when Sonic 3 will be out in your region. Below, we've got the confirmed US release date, as well as the latest on its UK status. Spoiler: it's not looking good.

For a spoiler-filled look at the movie, check out our guides to the Sonic 3 ending, Sonic 3 post-credits scene, and Sonic 3 Easter eggs.

Sonic 3 is streaming on Paramount Plus in the US as of February 18, 2025.

Those in other regions, such as the UK, may have a slightly longer wait.

A Paramount representative told our sister site TechRadar that it will be coming "soon" but didn't give a further date.

They said, "Sonic 3 will only be available in the US and Canada. It will also come soon to the UK and Australia, but we haven't set a date yet"

Seeing as how even the second Sonic movie hasn't hit UK shores yet on Paramount Plus, we could be waiting right up until the end of the year and beyond. We'll keep you posted.
