While there have been rumors suggesting that Saw X might be accessible for streaming in March 2024, Lionsgate has not officially confirmed this. However, Lionsgate has entered into a multiyear partnership with Peacock, which will see all of its full-length film releases being made available for streaming on the NBCUniversal platform from 2024 onwards. Based on this deal alone, audiences can expect to stream Saw X on Peacock (until further updates). Additionally, this lineup will feature other notable titles like Borderlands and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

In the meantime, audiences can catch the original Saw movie on streaming platforms like Prime Video, Peacock, and Starz. Since the first Saw movie acts as the prequel to Saw X, audiences can take a trip down memory lane to revisit the sadistic brutality of Jigsaw's tormenting contraptions.

Although official confirmation is pending, there's buzz suggesting that the DVD and Blu-ray release for Saw X is anticipated around December 2023 - approximately 3 months after the films theatrical release date.

The trailer for Saw X was released by Lionsgate on July 30, 2023. Check out the official Lionsgate synopsis for Saw X:

John Kramer (Tobin Bell) is back. The most disturbing installment of the SAW franchise yet explores the untold chapter of Jigsaws most personal game. Set between the events of SAW I and II, a sick and desperate John travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his cancer only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable. Armed with a newfound purpose, the infamous serial killer returns to his work, turning the tables on the con artists in his signature visceral way through devious, deranged, and ingenious traps.

The Saw movie franchise revolves around Jigsaw, a terminally ill mastermind who tests the moral and physical limits of individuals he considers morally corrupt or wasteful of their lives. He places them in life-or-death situations, forcing them to face gruesome challenges and make excruciating choices to survive.

In addition to the franchise's mind-bending storyline and complex characters, what sets the Saw movies apart from other horror flicks are its elaborate torture devices, sadistically portrayed as "games". One of the franchise's more notable "games" is the Reverse Bear Trap, a large, mechanical device placed on the victim's head, designed to rip their jaws apart if they don't fulfill a task. Another one is the Razor Wire Maze, in which victims are placed in a maze of razor wire and must find their way out within a time limit, often resulting in bloody injuries.
