Summary
551 films and TV series bought through the PlayStation Store will disappear from users’ video libraries on September 1, according to notices Sony sent to affected customers and posted on its website.
Sony said the removals stem from content licensing agreements covering StudioCanal titles, including Terminator 2, Total Recall and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.
No refunds or other compensation were mentioned in the customer notice, which said users “will no longer be able to access” the previously purchased content.
The pullback appears to affect PlayStation users in the UK and follows earlier StudioCanal removals in Germany and Austria; Sony stopped selling movies and TV shows on PlayStation in 2021.
