The films will be available on "all major digital transactional platforms," according to Variety, so that will likely include the ability to purchase them on iTunes, Amazon Prime Video and Google Play Store.
There are no reports that the films will be coming to more streaming services, however, so don't get your hopes up for a Ghibli Netflix binge any time soon.
Previously, Ghibli films have only been available to stream in the US though HBO Max, and they have not be available to purchase digitally anywhere online.
Studio co-founder Hayao Miyazaki has spoken in the past about his reluctance to distribute films in formats other than via theaters or on DVD and Blu-ray.
The Ghibli movies will be available to purchase in either Japanese or English from December 17th.
