The animatronics are heading home.
After a strong theatrical run earlier this month, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is officially making its digital debut today, giving horror fans a new way to experience the sequel outside theaters. The film becomes available for digital purchase and rental starting today, launching across major platforms including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango At Home.
The digital rollout arrives just days before Christmas, positioning the sequel as a timely addition to the holiday watchlist for fans looking to trade festive comfort for jump scares. Unlike the first film, which famously debuted simultaneously in theaters and on streaming, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 followed a traditional theatrical-first release strategy, and that gamble paid off at the box office.
Now, with its digital release window opening, viewers who missed the film during its theatrical run can finally catch up, while returning fans have the option to rewatch the sequel at home. Pricing varies by platform, but early access means the film can be streamed on demand without a subscription requirement.
At this stage, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is not yet included on subscription streaming services such as Peacock. However, industry expectations suggest the film will arrive on Peacock in early 2026, likely following Universal’s standard post-digital release timeline. After that window, the movie is expected to rotate back to transactional platforms later in the year.
The sequel continues the franchise’s expansion of its animatronic mythology, delivering heightened scares, deeper lore, and bigger set pieces designed for both longtime fans of the games and newer audiences. Its successful theatrical performance and rapid transition to digital availability highlight the franchise’s continued popularity and the enduring demand for video game–based horror.
For fans still riding the adrenaline of the holiday season, or looking to escape it entirely, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 now offers a convenient way to bring the terror home.
The doors are open.
The lights are flickering.
And Freddy is back, on demand.
