- Support for the Netflix streaming app will soon be removed from the PS3
- Users of the 19-year-old console receive notifications when they launch the app
- Netflix will be removed from PS3 on March 2, 2026
After 16 years of support, Netflix will be removed from the PlayStation 3 on March 2, 2026, as seen by IGN.
In case you didn’t know—because I certainly didn’t—Netflix was made available on PS3 back in 2009 via a Blu-ray disc, before the original app was later added to the console in 2010.
For 16 years, users still using their PS3 could enjoy their favorite shows on the streaming service, but unfortunately the Netflix app is being removed next month.
Users attempting to launch the app are presented with a message that reads, “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 to this is disappointing, with many upset that they can no longer use their PS3 to watch Netflix content on a 4:3 native screen.

“Help there goes the last way to watch Netflix natively in 4:3,” said one user on the PS3 subreddit. “I imagine I’m one of about 10 people upset about this haha. Netflix ps3 has been so handy for watching old shows on a CRT in 4:3 without the black bars on the sides. glad I got to use it while I still can and at least they gave a heads up haha.”
Another replied saying: “UNTIL Netflix was still on ps3.” Both you and me.
“I’m actually impressed it was still supported. I would have thought they dropped the PS3 years ago,” said another user.
One Redditor pointed out that Amazon Prime Video is still supported, but now that Netflix has been phased out by older generation hardware, how long will that last?
