Iconic tentpole Jaws is to get a 50th anniversary release on the home formats later this year. Universal Pictures Home Entertainment will debut the release on June 17, 2025 in 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and Digital. The Jaws 50th anniversary is officially the 20th June – the date of its original release stateside (it didn’t hit the UK until December) so this is as close as it can get to that big half-century birthday.
