If you’re a PlayStation Plus Premium/Deluxe Subscriber, you could be getting access to a free-to-stream, ad-free library of 100 free Sony movies.
According to Sony’s announcement, those titles will include Looper, Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV, Elysium, and Resident Evil Damnation. The service has already launched in some regions and IGN have helpfully catalogued every film on offer right now. We’re absolutely watching Godzilla Final Wars the moment we get access, but the rest of the catalogue is a little so-so. Admittedly, the value of that depends on the titles on offer, which will change as movies arrive and depart the catalogue. To access the movies you’ll need to download the Sony Core app on your PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 and, of course, have an active PlayStation Plus Premium/Deluxe subscription.
But on the plus side, Sony aren’t charging anything extra for the service and it does add some value to PlayStation Plus Premium/Deluxe, aside from the classic PlayStation game catalogue subscribers can already access. The movies will also be ad-free.

Sony Core also offers paid content, so you can rent and purchase movies via the app. Across the Spider-Verse is on there and the Gran Turismo movie is on the way, with an “early access” purchase window via Sony Core. Originally Bravia Core, the app began life on Sony’s own brand of TVs but they’re very much branching out.
Sony still has a deal with Netflix, but Sony Core gives them their own avenue for renting and selling movies, before they hit Netflix or some other streaming service.
