Lionsgate has once again partnered with Amazon to offer an exclusive SteelBook edition of a combo 4K / 1080 release. The disc contents match those of the wide 4K release also put out by Lionsgate.

On disc supplements are detailed in the above linked review. The handsomely designed SteelBook offers a deep cobalt blue coloring on the front and rear panels, with the two central characters featured prominently, and several supporting characters dotting the background of both panels. The interior panels can be seen in the fifth and sixth hi res photos I've uploaded to show packaging, and as usual don't offer much, but in this case maybe more than usual. A rather neatly designed Mylar O ring "isolates" the two stars on the front cover so that only they can be seen, as shown in the sixth and seventh photos. As usual, a digital copy is also included.
t's probably patently unfair to place the blame for the lackluster effect of The Killer's Game solely on Bautista's immense, hulk like shoulders, because he is an undeniably genial presence. The writing here is simply silly a lot of the time, though at least the cartoonish array of supposed supervillain nemeses at least are offered without any high falutin' pretense. Technical merits are first rate and the supplements enjoyable, with the added allure of a smartly designed SteelBook for collectors of that kind of packaging, for anyone who may be considering making a purchase.
