PlayStation Plus Premium And Deluxe Subscribers Are Getting A Movie Library Perk

PlayStation Plus Premium and Deluxe subscribers can look forward to a new movie-themed perk as part of their membership. As part of the Bravia Core app being rebranded to Sony Pictures Core--which will be a brand-new app on PS5 and PS4--Sony has announced several changes to the program that has begun rolling out.

PS5 and PS4 owners can download the Sony Pictures app from the media tab, and from there, PS Plus Premium and Deluxe members will gain access to a curated catalog of "up to 100" Sony Pictures movies that can be streamed on demand. This catalog will be ad-free and updated periodically and includes movies such as Looper, Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV, Elysium, and Resident Evil Damnation.

Additionally, Sony Pictures Core members will be able to buy or rent select movies during an exclusive early access period as part of their paid subscription.

Gran Turismo, the Neill Blomkamp-directed movie that is loosely inspired by the true story of Jann Mardenborough, the teenage Gran Turismo player who went on become a professional race car driver is currently available through Sony Pictures Core in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Other regions, including the UK, France, and Germany, will receive the film later this year.

There'll be more benefits added in time--like curated anime content--that Sony says it will share more details on at a later date. "This is just the beginning, and we plan to evolve the offerings and benefits of Sony Pictures Core over time, including a selection of hit anime content from Crunchyroll. We're looking forward to more exciting things to come, so stay tuned," Sony said in a PS Blog update.
