At SIE, we strive to provide the best entertainment experience for PlayStation fans, and that means evolving our offerings as customer needs change. We’ve seen tremendous growth from PlayStation fans using subscription-based and ad-based entertainment streaming services on our consoles. With this shift in customer behavior, we have decided to no longer offer movie and TV purchases and rentals through PlayStation Store as of August 31, 2021.  

When this change takes effect, users can still access movie and TV content they have purchased through PlayStation Store for on-demand playback on their PS4, PS5 and mobile devices. We thank our fans for their continued support, and we look forward to further enhancing the entertainment experience on PlayStation.

February has come to a close, which means it’s time to open up the Players’ Choice polls and vote for your favorite new release of the past month! From the stylish heroes of Persona 5 Strikers and Ys IX: Monstrum Nox to the tricks and puzzles of Little Nightmares II and the We Were Here series, February was bursting with unforgettable moments. 

We’ll keep the polls open until Sunday night at 11:59pm Pacific, so be sure to cast your vote before then. Make the pitch for your favorite release in the comments below! 

How does it work? At the end of every month, PlayStation.Blog will open a poll where you can vote for the best new game released that month. Soon thereafter, we’ll close the polls, tally your votes, and announce the winner at PlayStation.Blog. PlayStation Store will also showcase some top Players’ Choice winners throughout the year.

What is the voting criteria? That’s up to you! If you were only able to recommend one new release to a friend that month, which would it be? In keeping with our long tradition in the Game of the Year Awards, remastered or re-released games won’t qualify. Ambitious, larger-scale rebuilds and remakes like Shadow of the Colossus and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy will.

How are nominees decided? The PlayStation.Blog and PlayStation Store editorial teams will gather a list of that month’s most noteworthy releases and use it to seed the poll. Write-in votes will be accepted.

With PlayStation Now’s March line up, you can answer those burning questions: Who’s more dangerous, zombies or humans? If you had  superhuman powers, would you use them for your own needs or others? Could you make it as an ace pilot? Or an action hero? 

Starting tomorrow, you’ll have your answers. Four new games are playable on demand from Tuesday, March 2: World War Z, InFamous  Second Son, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown and Superhot all join PS Now’s huge library of PS4, PS3 and PS2 games*. Let’s take a closer look at each game in turn.
