Netflix on PS3 is finally shutting down next month

While consoles are of course first and foremost used to play video games, their utility as an all-round media player is not to be dismissed, starting with support for DVDs, then Blu Rays and streaming services. With the console now over 20 years old, Netflix has announced they are officially dropping support for the PS3 next month.

As discovered by one ResetEra user, in going to the Netflix app on PS3 subscribers are now met with the message “Unfortunately, Netflix will no longer be available on this device after March 2, 2026.”

While not too much of a surprise given the age of the console, many users have expressed disappointment with the announcement, especially as the PS3 version allowed for native 4:3 content support (and did not feature any ads).

Still, while unfortunate to see, it was only a matter of time. Given the continued popularity of the PS4, it will be interesting to see how many more years of support it will receive.
