Not even an apology is offered as PlayStation removes Terminator 2, Apocalypse Now, Rambo and many other films that users have "bought" over the years.
PlayStation shut down its video store in 2021 but promised that users would still be able to access films they had purchased on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.
Just one year later, in 2022, PlayStation broke that promise by removing over 300 films. It left people wondering if the same could happen to their libraries of 'purchased' PlayStation games.

Here we go again
In September 2026, PlayStation will once again remove a large batch of films, this time including prominent titles such as Terminator 2, Apocalypse Now, Rambo, From Dusk Till Dawn, Cliffhanger and The Deer Hunter.
These are films that customers have paid full price to own. PlayStation is offering neither a refund, compensation nor an apology, as if this were all perfectly normal
- "From September 1, 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," the company said.
A list of all 551 films can be found on PlayStation's website alongside the above statement. The full list is also included in the table below.
PlayStation Store sold films until August 2021
PS5 games subject to same terms
Games purchased through the PlayStation Store for PS5 and PS4 are subject to the same terms. Any game can be removed from your library if PlayStation chooses to do so.
- "1.4 The License to you: The Software is licensed to you, not sold. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and personal license to play or use the Software for your private, non-commercial use on the system or device it was intended for.," reads Sony PlayStation's terms of service.
Other game stores have been forced to acknowledge the same following a new law in California in 2025. The law only exempts film and game stores that offer the option of a permanent offline copy via download – something PlayStation Store does not allow.
