- Support for Netflix streaming app will soon be removed from the PS3
- 19 year old console users receive messages when they launch the app
- Netflix will be removed from the PS3 on March 2, 2026
After 16 years of support, Netflix will be removed from PlayStation 3 on March 2, 2026, as discovered by IGN.
In case you didn’t know, because I certainly didn’t, Netflix was available on the PS3 in 2009 via Blu-ray disc before the native app was added to the console in 2010.
For 16 years, users who still used their PS3 were able to enjoy their favorite shows on the streaming service, but unfortunately, the Netflix app will be removed next month.
Users who try to launch the app receive a message that says, “Unfortunately, Netflix will no longer be available on this device after March 2, 2026.”
The reaction from those still using the 19-year-old console is disappointing, with many upset that they can no longer use their PS3 to watch Netflix content on a native 4:3 screen.

“Well, there goes the latest way to watch Netflix natively in 4:3,” said one user on the PS3 subreddit. “I guess I’m one of the 10 people bummed out by this haha. Netflix ps3 has been very convenient for watching old shows on a CRT in 4:3 without the black bars on the sides. I’m glad I used it while I can and at least they gave me a heads up haha.”
Another responded saying: “UNTIL Netflix was still on ps3.” You and me both.
“I’m actually shocked it was still supported. I thought they abandoned the ps3 years ago,” said another user.
One Redditor pointed out that Amazon Prime Video is still supported, but now that Netflix has been removed from previous generation hardware, how long will it last?
