Around July 2022, Sony updated the legal notice page on its official website, announcing that some movies will be removed from the store. According to Sony, due to a contract with the content provider ' StudioCanal ', about 300 titles of video content provided by the studio will be removed from the video library after August 31, 2022. Titles include The Hunger Games , John Wick , and the Saw series. In addition, this deletion measure is limited to Germany. Users in the target countries report that 'it seems that we cannot take measures such as refund measures.'

Sony used to sell video content such as movies and dramas in addition to games on its content sales platform, the PlayStation Store, but has stopped doing so since August 31, 2021. This prevents users from purchasing or renting video content, but previously purchased content is still available.

However, Sony clearly states that the content that can be purchased from the PlayStation Store 'is not guaranteed to be used indefinitely regardless of whether or not the expiration date of the content is stated.' It is undeniable that things may happen in the future.

Not only the targeted users but also PlayStation Store users in each country are raising concerns about this measure. There is also an opinion that 'users can only purchase the' right 'to watch the content while the contract between Sony and the distribution company is signed', but this is 'Why buy at the time of purchase?' 'Isn't it written as' Rent for an uncertain period at a fixed price '?'
