Sony announced that it will remove access to over 500 movies and TV shows from PlayStation Store libraries beginning September 1, 2026. The company stated that the removal of this content is due to the end of licensing agreements between Sony and StudioCanal. Sony's announcement regarding the delisting was matter-of-fact.

The titles affected by this change include Terminator 2, Rambo, Paddington, Paddington 2, Pan’s Labyrinth, Outrage: Way of the Yakuza, Gomorrah, and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, according to GamesPew. Unlike video games, which typically remain in a user's library after being delisted, the removed movies and shows will be completely inaccessible to consumers who previously purchased them digitally.

According to TechRadar, Sony has not offered refunds or compensation for the removed content. This approach highlights that consumers do not own what they buy, contrasting with physical media ownership. Consumers who bought movies digitally on PlayStation may lose access to them.
