PlayStation will remove 550+ purchased Studio Canal movies from digital libraries on Sept. 1

Sony will remove more than 550 purchased movies and TV shows from PlayStation users’ digital libraries on September 1, 2026, after a licensing agreement with Studio Canal ends. A message to users says affected buyers will no longer be able to access their previously purchased content, and Sony did not mention refunds or compensation. videogameschronicle.com

The removals cover a wide range of Studio Canal-distributed titles on PlayStation consoles, including films such as Evil Dead, From Dusk Till Dawn, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day, along with TV shows like The Young Pope and Trust Me. Sony says a full list of affected video content is available on the PlayStation website. videogameschronicle.com

The move again highlights how PlayStation’s digital video purchases are tied to licensing terms rather than permanent ownership. The same evidence notes that PlayStation’s End-User License Agreement allows content to be removed when licensing agreements expire, echoing earlier concerns about Sony’s approach to preserving access to digital storefront content. videogameschronicle.com

Who's To Blame — PlayStation Or Xbox?

The news has been slammed as "anti-consumer" and needlessly "complicated," but it's unclear who exactly is responsible — PlayStation or Xbox — and everyone has their plasma rifles pointed in all directions. Xbox players don't need a second Game Pass subscription to play local split-screen, only a unique Microsoft account, which calls into question why it would be any different for PlayStation users. In all likelihood, it's because both players must link to Xbox's services, meaning that the second player cannot simply be a 'guest.' Sony's architecture treats any external network connection as a

They also have a built-in mic for speaking with others while playing online, and volume controls on the earbuds themselves that are easy to use. Even though it might not be from PlayStation itself,
