Summary
UK PlayStation users were told all previously purchased Studio Canal titles will disappear from their video libraries on Sept. 1, 2026, with no refunds or other compensation.
Sony said the removal is required by content licensing agreements, telling customers they will no longer be able to access the films once they are deleted.
The move extends a pattern of purchased-content losses on PlayStation: Germany and Austria lost Studio Canal titles in 2022, and Sony in December 2023 said buyers would lose purchased Discovery shows after backlash forced a deadline extension.
Sony stopped selling and renting movies and TV shows through the PlayStation Store in August 2021, though PS5 and PS4 users can still buy video content through Sony Pictures Core.
