Sony Interactive Entertainment is conducting another round of purchased content removal from the PlayStation library. Following similar moves in 2022 and 2023, folks in the UK have been informed that they’ll lose all Studio Canal titles from their video libraries due to “licensing agreements.”
This isn’t the first time Sony has removed purchased content from the PlayStation library
Players will recall that in December 2023, Sony announced that PlayStation owners would eventually lose access to all their purchased Discovery TV shows, sparking widespread concern. The company offered no refunds, but did extend the deadline for content removal after intense backlash.
Now, PlayStation users in the UK have been told that all Studio Canal titles will be removed from their libraries on September 1, 2026. And no, no one’s getting any compensation.
“Due to our content licensing agreements, you will no longer be able to access your previously purchased content from Studio Canal, and it will be removed from your video library,” the notice reads.
Worth noting that players in some countries, including Germany and Austria, lost their purchased content from Studio Canal back in 2022.
PlayStation Store discontinued movie and TV purchases and rentals in August 2021. However, PS5 and PS4 players can purchase video content via Sony Pictures Core.
