Sony recently informed its PlayStation customers in the United Kingdom that they will no longer be able to watch previously purchased movies and shows from production and distribution company StudioCanal. As of September 1, affected customers will no longer be able to stream 551 titles from the PlayStation Store.<\/p>\n

In a legal notice<\/a> first spotted by gaming news outlet PlayStation LifeStyle<\/a>, Sony said that affected customers will lose the ability to stream titles including Outrage: Way of the Yakuza<\/em>, Paddington<\/em>, Paddington 2<\/em>, Pan\u2019s Labyrinth<\/em>, Rambo 3<\/em>, Terminator 2: Judgment Day<\/em>, and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas<\/em> \u201cdue to our content licensing agreements.\u201d As of September, Sony will remove any affected titles that UK users bought from their PlayStation library, per the notice.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s possible that Sony may still make a deal with StudioCanal by September 1, or even after, that would allow users to keep watching the content they bought. This happened in 2023, when Sony said it would have to pull 1,318 seasons of Discovery shows<\/a> from customers\u2019 libraries. A few weeks after its announcement, Sony said that it would not pull the content because it had updated its licensing arrangements with Discovery.<\/p>\n
