Directed by Shawn Levy, Free Guy stars Reynolds as a non-player character in an open-world video game known simply as Guy. When Guy becomes self-aware of his whole NPC-in-a-video-game situation, he sets off to try to make himself the hero of the game, before the game developers can shut it down. Also starring Jodie Comer, Lil Rel Howery, and Taika Waititi, Free Guy sounds like a silly blend of high concept science fiction and absurd comedy that’s sure to delight the video gamer in your life.

But how, exactly, can you watch the movie? Thanks to the pandemic, it’s more confusing than ever to figure out where and when movies are playing. Lucky for you, Decider is here to help. Here’s where to watch Free Guy, and when to expect Free Guy on streaming.
Is Free Guy Streaming Online?
Not yet. Right now, the only way to watch Free Guy is in a movie theater. (You might want to wear a mask if you go!) You can find a showing near you here.
When & Where to watch Free Guy streaming? (2021)
The Free Guy streaming release date is most likely Monday, September 27, 2021. As the film is a 20th Century Studios production, the most probable streaming platforms are Disney Plus and/or Hulu.
Free Guy is exclusive to cinemas for 45 days following its August 13, 2021 launch. This means that the movie is eligible for streaming starting September 27, 2021. 20th Century Studios is distributing the film, over which Disney has ownership. As a result, a Free Guy Hulu or Disney+ launch seems the most plausible.

It’s unlikely that Disney would immediately release the movie on a competing streaming platform like Netflix or Amazon Prime Video.
Of course, it’s possible that Free Guy will come to streaming services like Netflix and Prime Video in the future. Should that happen, however, it’ll most likely be once the movie has run its course on proprietary Disney streaming platforms.
WILL FREE GUY BE ON HBO MAX?
No. Free Guy is not a Warner Bros. movie. HBO Max, which is owned by Warner Media, is only the streaming home to first-run Warner Bros. blockbusters like The Suicide Squad. Because Free Guy is being distributed by 20th Century Studios—which is now owned by Disney—it will not stream on HBO Max at the same time that it’s in theaters. While it is possible that Free Guy will be on HBO Max someday, it will not be any time soon.
IS FREE GUY ON NETFLIX?
No. Free Guy is not on Netflix. Because Free Guy is technically a Disney movie, it is more likely the film will end up on Disney+. But you can stream another Ryan Reynolds movie, Six Underground, on Netflix if you’re craving that Reynolds action right now.
Is Free Guy Available with Disney+ Premier Access?
No. Well, probably not. We still don’t have confirmation on whether Free Guy will be on Disney+ or Hulu once it has its streaming release so there has been no official word on this.

The Disney+ Premier Access feature is meant to give viewers the opportunity to stream movies while they’re still in theaters for an additional fee of $29.99 on top of their existing Disney+ subscription. This was the case with some of Disney’s biggest releases of 2021 including Black Widow and Cruella. But since Free Guy will only be in theaters when it releases, it’s unlikely that you’ll need Premier Access to watch it once it arrives on streaming.
When Will Free Guy Arrive on Digital or VOD?
Despite the fact that Free Guy will have an exclusive theatrical release, it could still end up on streaming or Video-On-Demand after its initial run. The movie will have a 45-day exclusive theatrical window during which it won’t be available anywhere else. What happens afterward is anyone’s guess.
Based on how well the movie does in theaters, it could get an early release on Digital or VOD. In fact, it’s very likely that Free Guy will eventually end up on either Disney+ or Hulu after it wraps up its theatrical window.
Of course, this is still speculation and it hasn’t officially been confirmed yet. So for the time being, you’re going to have to venture out of your home if you want to watch the movie.
Is Free Guy in Movie Theaters?
Free Guy is set to arrive in theatres released on August 13, 2021, in the United States. This is over a year from the movie’s original release date so the fans will be happy to finally see it on the big screen.
The film was initially scheduled to premiere on July 3, 2020. But like most of the movies of 2020, Free Guy too had its release delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was first pushed to December 11, 2020, and then dropped from the studio’s release schedule altogether. It was then rescheduled to May 21, 2021.
In March 2021, Ryan Reynolds announced that Free Guy’s premiere had been moved again, this time to the current release date. Hopefully, this one sticks.
Movie fans have spent a long time away from theaters but now that the number of coronavirus cases is dropping across the country and the vaccine rollout is being expanded, they can finally head back to their local theaters. But that said, do take every precaution and check your state’s most recent safety guidelines before you book your tickets for the show.
