The Sony Pictures Core movie service has just arrived on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. So you probably have some doubts about how it works and what it offers PlayStation Plus subscribers. Below, we explain how to use the platform and take advantage of its benefits at no additional cost.
What is Sony Pictures Core?
Sony Pictures Core is an entertainment application where Sony offers its most featured movies. Previously, the service was known as Bravia Core and offered content only on the company's TVs and mobiles.
Now, the platform is already available for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, so players can buy and rent up to more than 2000 movies and future releases. The interesting thing is that PlayStation Plus users can access part of this catalog of tapes at no additional cost.
According to details, Sony Pictures Core features IMAX Enhanced compatible movies, 4K HDR resolution and Dolby Atmos support.
How to use Sony Pictures Core on PS5 and PS4?
Every gamer can download the Sony Pictures Core app for free. It is available from the media content menu on PS5 and via the PlayStation Store on PS4. You need to create an account to start using the platform. This process is free and will only take you a few minutes.
Once you have completed this step, you will have 3 options to enjoy the movies on the service: buy them, rent them or watch them via streaming. If you want to enjoy certain content at no additional cost, then you must have an active subscription to PlayStation Plus Premium/Deluxe.
It is worth mentioning that a PlayStation Plus subscription is not required to purchase or rent movies. Below are the available options:
- If you rent a movie, you will have 30 days to play it and 48 hours to finish it once you have started it
- If you buy a movie, it will be added to your library and you will be able to watch it as many times as you want when you log in with your account
- If the movie is part of a streaming package included in a PlayStation Plus subscription or other streaming offer, you will be able to watch it (by streaming) at no additional cost
What content does Sony Pictures Core offer to PlayStation Plus users?
As we told you, the service offers a catalog of approximately 2,000 movies. PlayStation Plus users will have access to an initial selection of 100 films, which will gradually change over time.
Among the most attractive films in the general catalog are Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Uncharted, The Equalizer, No Hard Feelings, Bullet Train, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV, Resident Evil Damnation, among many others. It is important to note that the catalog varies by region.
The service will also allow players to purchase Sony movies with early access in some countries. Additionally, players will receive rewards for certain games. Initially it will apply for the Gran Turismo adaptation, which will reward with credits for Gran Turismo 7.
Finally, you should know that Sony Pictures Core will also offer a selection of Crunchyroll anime in the future. For now there are no further details regarding this attractive benefit.
In which countries is Sony Pictures Core available?
Sony launched its PS5 and PS4 movie service in 23 markets worldwide. The issue is that the company did not detail which countries it is referring to. For this reason, we recommend you to look for the Sony Pictures Core application from your console, so you will know if the platform is enabled in your country. The company did not disclose part of its plans to expand the reach of Sony Pictures Core to other regions in the future.
