  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nYour PlayStation 3 has just lost access to Netflix. The US streamer has pulled the plug on Sony's beloved console, which sold more than 87 million units worldwide during its lifetime.\n\nYou might have already spotted a warning message pop-up on-screen over recent weeks.\n\nIt reads: \"Unfortunately, Netflix will no longer be available on this device after March 2, 2026. Visit **netflix.com/compatibledevices** to see a list of supported devices.\"\n\nSony stopped making the PS3 back in 2017, but many still use their console for watching telly via the streaming apps. It also ships with a built-in Blu-ray player.\n\nAs recently as 2023, the console still had around two million people using it every month. The news hasn't gone down well online, either, with fans taking to social media to share their frustration.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n> Netflix will no longer be available on PS3 after March 2, 2026 https://t.co/ppxvmCFWi5 pic.twitter.com/jNdi9gQw3P\n>\n> — Wario64 (@Wario64) February 3, 2026\n\nOne user wrote on X: \"They're taking Netflix off PS3? What's next?? The PS5???\"\n\nAnother joked by writing, \"Netflix survived 3 console generations and said I'm tired boss.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n> They’re taking Netflix off PS3? What’s next?? The PS5???\n>\n> — Haha Jenkins (@flyassjenkins) February 5, 2026\n\nOver on Reddit, people explained why they're genuinely gutted about losing the feature.\n\n\"I literally got Netflix on my PS3 a week ago and now they do this, and I can't play Netflix on the TV in any other way but to connect to a damn laptop.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n> Comment\n>  by u/Alan-Beach from discussion \n>  in PlayStation_X\n\nAnother suggested that this is Sony's way of pushing users to upgrade to a newer console.\n\nA Reddit user wrote, \"Both the PS and the XBOX are facing low adoption rates compared to the previous generation.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n> Comment\n>  by u/Alan-Beach from discussion \n>  in PlayStation_X\n\nThis isn't to say that you can't access Netflix in other ways.\n\nNetflix explains on its help page that you can use \"any supported smart TV, phone, tablet, streaming player, or game console that connects to the internet and offers the Netflix app.\"\n\nYou can also simply head to Netflix's website on your computer and watch directly through your browser. Newer game consoles, such as PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, or Xbox, still allow you to download the streaming app there as well.\n\n\n### Upgrade to the PlatStation 5 from Amazon\n\n\n\n\nThe PlayStation 5 delivers powerful next-generation gaming with ultra-fast load times, 4K visuals, and immersive gameplay powered by its specialised software and advanced high-performance graphics. Its DualSense controller enhances every moment with adaptive triggers. It features a sleek, futuristic design and a broad game library\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nAlthough if you were hoping to hold out until you can upgrade to Sony's planned release of the PlayStation 6, you may be waiting longer than you originally thought.\n\nThe **next PlayStation console has been delayed**, according to new reports, which suggest the Japanese firm's rumoured PS6 won't arrive next year, as many industry-watchers had anticipated.\n\nSony typically releases its new console generation every six to seven years. With the last console released in 2020, many have been anticipating something new around the corner.\n\n### LATEST DEVELOPMENTS\n\n\n\n\n  * **Cheapest Freely TV box sells out in under 24-hours **\n  * **Best VPN deals**\n  * **Sky confirms return of channel that's been missing for 6 years ******\n  * **Major police crackdown blocks millions from watching Sky TV for free**\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nBased on prior releases, Sony typically releases a new PlayStation every six to seven years:\n\n  * **PS1:**(1994)\n  * **PS2:** 2000 (approx. 6 years)\n  * **PS3:** 2006 (approx. 6 years)\n  * **PS4:** 2013 (approx. 7 years)\n  * **PS5:** 2020 (approx. 7 years)\n\n\n\nThere's also the matter of rising component costs to consider. RAM prices have shot up considerably, which could have given Sony pause when planning its next-generation pricing strategy.\n\nThey're not alone in facing this problem either.\n\nThe founder of **British start-up Nothing confirms their smartphone price will increase** this year, and the **first-of-its-kind Freely box was hit with a price rise** just two months after its release.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards:The GB News Editorial Charter **",
