‘I Imagine I’m One of Like 10 People Bummed by This’ — Netflix Is Being Removed From the Near 20-Year-Old PS3 in March

Netflix is being removed from the PlayStation 3 — yes, the PlayStation 3 — on March 2, 2026.

The streaming platform currently works on Sony’s 19-year-old console, but the party ends next month, according to a message now displayed by the Netflix app on PS3.

Remarkably, some people were still using the Netflix app on PS3, including perhaps the appropriately named redditor ‘12_Ton_Brick_of_Weed,’ who said: “Welp, there goes the last way to watch Netflix natively in 4:3.”

“I imagine I’m one of like 10 people bummed by this haha,” they continued. “Netflix ps3 has been so convenient 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.”

“TIL that Netflix was still on PS3,” someone replied. “I used it daily for my daughter. Definitely not the only one upset,” added another.

Perhaps with Netflix finally gone from the PS3, the streamer will find a place for it on the Nintendo Switch 2. Or perhaps not.
