Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits the UK as digital download

By last updated

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is now officially available as digital download in the UK. No longer will you need to rely on regional loopholes to enjoy the latest instalment in the series. You'll be able to purchase and download from the likes of iTunes, Amazon and Google Play.

Unfortunately, as noted by Engadget, those awaiting physical copies will need to hold out until April 18 when Disney will release Blu-ray and DVD variants. Be sure to check stores before you download as some outlets will offer bundled extra content like behind-the-scenes.

At the time of writing, the Windows Store listing doesn't appear to have the movie available for download yet.
