Sony to restrict access to PlayStation Video service
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
PlayStation Video is a Sony service that allows purchasing and renting movies and TV shows via PlayStation consoles or other devices. However, the service is not very popular, so the company decided to limit its availability.
Sony has announced that starting July 16, 2023, PlayStation Video will no longer be supported on Blu-ray players and Smart TVs. Users will not be able to watch purchased or rented content. The only way to access their PlayStation Video library will be via a PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 4 console.
Sony has not provided an official reason for the decision, but it is likely due to low interest in the service and competition from other streaming platforms. The PlayStation Video service was previously withdrawn from Sony Bravia TVs and older audio and video devices in 2017. Sony assures that it will continue to develop its entertainment offerings and invest, in particular, in music.
