From its run in the theatre, Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins has made its way to your small screens. It is now available on Premium Digital and Premium VOD starting today, August 17.
Snake Eye’s VOD platforms include Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play/YouTube, Xfinity, Vudu, Redbox and Microsoft. It is not available on Paramount+ yet.
Initially, Snake Eyes was supposed to be released digitally and on Paramount+ 45 days after its theatrical debut. But amidst the pandemic and subpar critic reviews, the movie has not performed well on the box office — a mere 35 million USD dent worldwide.
Studios are yet to crack the formula of what type of film release will work efficiently during the ever-changing dynamics of the pandemic. In the meantime, the film’s early digital release hopes to attract more viewership to make up for its theatrical losses.
Come October 19, Snake Eyes will also be available in 4K Ultra HD, Blu-Ray and DVD. Besides the notable quality, buyers will also be treated to bonus features:
- Morning Light: A Sword with Stories to Tell – A short film about Snake Eyes’ legendary sword.
- Deleted Scenes – Not featured in the theatrical print.
- Enter Snake Eyes – Following the journey of bringing an iconic figure to life on screen.
- A Deadly Ensemble – All the G.I. Joe heroes, villains and new characters for your perusal.
- Arashikage – Enter the elite ninja warrior clan.
Paramount is already working on a sequel to Snake Eyes.

Snake Eyes (also known as Snake Eyes: G.I, Joe Origins) is an upcoming American superhero film directed by Robert Schwentke, with a screenplay written by Evan Spiliotopoulos, Joe Shrapnel, and Anna Waterhouse, from a story by Spiliotopoulos. Based on Hasbro’s G.I. Joe toy, comic, and media franchise, the film is a reboot of the G.I. Joe film series and serves as an origin story for the title character Snake Eyes.
