Sony recently informed its PlayStation customers in the UK that they will no longer be able to watch previously purchased movies and shows from production and distribution company StudioCanal. Starting September 1, affected customers will no longer be able to stream 551 titles from the PlayStation Store.
In a legal notice first spotted by gaming news outlet PlayStation LifeStyle, Sony said affected customers will lose the ability to stream titles, including Outrage: The Way of the Yakuza, Paddington, Paddington 2, Pan’s Labyrinth, Rambo 3, Terminator 2: Judgment Dayand The boy in the striped pajamas “due to our content licensing agreements.” Starting in September, Sony will remove all affected titles that UK users have purchased from their PlayStation library, according to the notice.
