What was said
"From September 1st, 2026, 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. Thank you, PlayStation Store."
Tens of thousands of UK and European customers who purchased digital movies and TV shows on Sony's PlayStation Store received notifications that their content will be permanently deleted from their libraries in 2026 with no refund offered. The deleted content includes major titles like Apocalypse Now, Terminator 2, Robocop, and Hot Fuzz. This follows a similar 2023 incident where Sony nearly removed hundreds of Discovery titles from users' libraries before signing new licensing agreements.
