This release was accompanied by a concurrent Region 2-only DIS L'intégrale des saisons 1 & 2 collection, followed two years later by the DVD DIS Seasons 1-3 Collection where it was added as an otherwise unaltered part of the set.
While in some cases still being marketed as region-restricted, the releases are in actuality region-free as this has increasingly become commonplace for the Blu-ray format – explaining the unified inclusion of subtitles and dubbed language audio tracks for all regions.

Background information[]
- As with the previous series release, this release features the same number of special features as its DVD counterpart, constituting something of a break in release policies as the Star Trek franchise had up to that point in time favored the Blu-ray format with the inclusion of more special features. Quite conceivably this had been an intentional franchise attempt to avoid the 2014 second "VAM controversy" that had followed in the wake of the home video format releases of the first two alternate reality films. However, it is not clear whether or not the "Chat in the Make-Up Trailer" Easter egg – somewhat of a throwback to the heydays of the DVD-era, as they have become an uncommon feature in the Blu-ray era – is ported over as well.
- This particular release is one of several individual Star Trek releases followed by the professional industry site The Numbers and for which domestic US home video format sales are known; The Numbers has reported that by November 2021 domestic sales had been realized of US$6.1 million for both this and its DVD counterpart releases. [2] The for a new Star Trek production seemingly disappointing sales could be explained by the continued sharply divided fan reception the series had engendered. However, there were by this time also generic societal trend issues at play, which had nothing to do with Star Trek, additionally explaining the diminishing sales of physical home video formats.
