PS Plus Premium subscribers can now stream up to 100 Sony movies at no extra cost

has for PlayStation 4 and . You’ll be able to buy and rent movies through the Sony Pictures Core app, but there’s a decent perk for subscribers of Premium and Deluxe (a version of Premium that’s available in select markets).

Members will get access to a library of up to 100 ad-free Sony Pictures films at no extra cost. Sony says the lineup includes movies such as Looper, Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV, Elysium and Resident Evil Damnation. The library will receive periodic updates. The company also plans to add some anime content from to Sony Pictures Core, and it notes that benefits for all PS Plus subscribers are on the way.

Many observers have long suggested that Sony should grant PS Plus subscribers the ability to stream some movies as part of the subscription, so it’s nice that’s finally happening. Given Sony’s to turn its gaming franchises and , it makes more sense than ever to offer that perk. On the other hand, Sony announced this update only a few weeks after it from $120 to $160.

PS4 and PS5 users will be able to buy some Sony Pictures films during an early access window. Right now, folks in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand can buy  through their console before it’s available for digital purchase elsewhere. Snap up that film through Sony Pictures Core, and you’ll get in-game credits for  too.

The app has been available on Bravia TVs and some Xperia devices for a while. Until now, the app has been called Bravia Core, but Sony is rebranding it on those devices next year.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem that the PlayStation version of the app includes one of the key features that Bravia and Xperia users have been able to enjoy. On those devices, the Bravia Core app , which can stream video at up to 80 Mbps. For comparison, Netflix recommends speeds of up to 25 Mbps for 4K video. Sony says the higher bit rate enables it to offer “near lossless” video streaming at a quality akin to 4K Blu-ray discs. That claim more or less holds up: I found that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse looks astoundingly good with Pure Stream enabled.

However, as things stand, there are no video quality settings in the Sony Pictures Core app on PlayStation devices. Here’s hoping Sony enables Pure Stream there in the future.
