After a one-day public screening on November 26, 2022, it was released in the United States on December 21, 2022. The film received universal critical acclaim, with praise directed towards the new animation style, story, action scenes, visual style, themes, voice acting, and humor. It has also been widely considered to be superior to the original film released in 2011. Some have even considered the film as the best Shrek installment since the second film.

The scene where a Sumo wrestler flattens Puss is not shown in the film, being replaced by the scene where Gingy warns Puss about the hot oven with which the cat later burns himself to death. It was most likely cut for being too goofy for the movie, though some have said the scene was made for the trailer so as not to spoil the Gingy cameo for theatergoers.
