How to watch Twisted Metal: stream the video game adaption

After it came out in the US last year, the video game adaptation show Twisted Metal, is finally getting a UK release date, so you'll be able to watch it on Thursday, March 21.

Twisted Metal is based on 1990s and 2000s action games about a vehicle combat tournament that takes place once a year. The video game is a bit different, and it stars Anthony Mackie as a delivery driver who has to courier a package across post-apocalyptic America, complete with some strange friends he makes along the way.

Part comedy and part action, this could prove to be the counterpart to The Last of Us for people who like their game adaptations a little sillier and more action-packed.

If you're excited for this upcoming video game adaptation or just want to see some car carnage, here's how to watch Twisted Metal wherever you are.

How to watch Twisted Metal in the US

Twisted Metal is an original production from Peacock, and so the show will stream exclusively on the NBCUniversal streaming service.

Every single episode of the show will land at the same time on Thursday, July 27, so you won't have to wait to binge the entire story if you like.

If you hurry, you can get Peacock for $4.99 monthly (ad-enabled) or $9.99 monthly (ad-free), or 10 months' worth for an annual subscription. However from Thursday, August 17 that price will go up to $5.99 for its ad-enabled tier or $11.99 for its ad-free one, so you'll have to pay a little more for Twisted Metal.

You'll be able to watch Twisted Metal on the streaming service Paramount Plus, which costs £6.99 per month or £69.90 per year. It's available as a standalone subscription or via Prime Video channels if you're an Amazon Prime subscriber.
