A "Director's Definitive Edition" blu-ray was released on May 9, 2017, by [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]], who acquired the distribution rights to the film through their part-ownership of [[Regency Enterprises|Regency]] back in 2015. Sourced from a [[4K resolution|4K]] remaster of the film supervised by Mann, the two-disc set contains all the extras from the 2009 Blu-ray, with two filmmakers panels from 2015 and 2016, one of which was moderated by [[Christopher Nolan]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Heat Director's Definitive Blu-ray Edition Detailed|url=http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=21024|website=blu-ray.com|access-date=July 25, 2017}}</ref>

A 4K [[Ultra HD Blu-ray]] Ultimate Collector's Edition of ''Heat'' that contains the Director's Definitive Edition of the film on UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray, along with legacy bonus materials released on August 9, 2022, by [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment]] (under the [[20th Century Studios]] label), was released coinciding with the release date of Mann's sequel novel.<ref name="DisneyHeat">{{cite web|title=Heat (1995) 4k Blu-ray & 4k SteelBook Release Dates Finally Confirmed|url=https://hd-report.com/2022/06/08/heat-1995-4k-blu-ray-4k-steelbook-release-dates-finally-confirmed/|access-date=June 8, 2022}}</ref> Unlike the previous home media releases, the Director's Definitive Edition Blu-ray and the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Ultimate Collector's Edition did not feature the [[Warner Bros. Pictures]] logo at the beginning, although the in-credit closing is retained.

''Heat'' was broadcast on [[NBC]] television on January 3, 1999, in a significantly edited version. Mann had offered the network some scenes that had been filmed but omitted from the theatrical edit with hope of having the film shown in four hours (with commercials) over two nights. Instead, NBC chose to cut nearly 40 minutes from the theatrical version so that ''Heat'' could be shown in a three-hour time slot (with commercials). Mann told ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'', "They cut so much out of the movie that they destroyed the narrative of the film along with its integrity.... Too much time was taken out of the film that wasn't due to language or other content." As a result, Mann had his director's credit on the TV version replaced with the pseudonym "[[Alan Smithee]]".<ref>{{cite web |title=Mann bites Peacock; just the facts for Permut |url=https://variety.com/1999/voices/columns/mann-bites-peacock-just-the-facts-for-permut-1117489876/ |website=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety.com]] |access-date=February 12, 2023 |date=January 4, 1999 |archive-date=July 19, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240719083652/https://variety.com/1999/voices/columns/mann-bites-peacock-just-the-facts-for-permut-1117489876/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
