A Blu-ray version was released by VIZ Media on August 8, 2017 and by Kazé France on March 15, 2017 in France. A special limited edition that abridges the entire first season into three movies, titled JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Re-Edited, was released on March 26, 2014 in Japan and March 15, 2017 in France.

Due to Netflix's exclusive distribution rights for Stone Ocean's TV anime adaptation, releases of the season have taken a different approach from past seasons. The season was planned to release across 19 DVDs made available for rental with help from distributor Klock Worx; though six DVDs comprising the first third of the season were published, the remaining 13 have not been released, and no additional information about them has been made available. On November 30, 2022, the first third of the season was released in the special Blu-ray box set format used by other seasons after their initial run, with the second releasing on February 24, 2023 and the third set to release on May 31 of the same year. No plans have been announced to release the season physically outside Japan.
All Viz Media, Kazé UK, and Madman Entertainment releases feature both Japanese and English audio with English subtitles. All initial Kazé France releases feature only the original Japanese audio with French subtitles, but re-issues of Parts 1-3 and the initial releases of Part 5 include the French dub as well. All Kazé Germany releases feature German audio alongside German, English, and French subtitles. All Selecta Vision releases feature both Japanese and Spanish audio, as well as Spanish subtitles.
Blu-ray releases feature uncensored footage, sharper action sequences, and retouched art, among other miscellaneous changes. The magnitude of the differences depends on the exact episode, but the further into a season's run one looks, the greater and more frequent the changes become.
