Sony pulls Studio Canal films like Hot Fuzz and Terminator 2 from user libraries

Sony has announced plans to remove access to previously purchased Studio Canal content from its video library. The change will take effect on September 1, 2026, affecting films and TV shows like Attack The Block, Hot Fuzz, Bridget Jones’ Diary, Rambo, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The company has not offered refunds or compensation for the removed titles. This is not the first time Sony has discontinued access to digital downloads. The move follows a long-standing criticism from consumers about the removal of purchased products from digital stores.

In separate news, Rockstar has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 will be sold digitally only, with no physical copy available. Fans have reacted negatively to the decision. The digital-only release may encourage other game developers to adopt a similar approach. Sony’s removal of Studio Canal titles will leave users without access to their past purchases from September 2026. The lack of refunds has added to frustration among consumers. Meanwhile, the gaming industry watches closely as Grand Theft Auto 6 sets a potential trend with its digital-only model.
