Sony is bringing its own movie streaming service to PlayStation consoles beginning today. Previously known as Bravia Core, the service is being rebranded to Sony Pictures Core as it arrives on the PS5 and PS4. \u201cOnce you sign up for Sony Pictures Core, you will be able to buy or rent up to 2,000 movies straight from your console,\u201d Sony\u2019s Evan Stern wrote in a blog post<\/a>. \u201cAt launch, this will include blockbuster hits such as Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse<\/em>, Spider-Man: No Way Home<\/em>, Uncharted<\/em>, The Equalizer<\/em>, No Hard Feelings<\/em>, Bullet Train<\/em>, and Ghostbusters: Afterlife<\/em>, among others.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Now, you can rent or buy those movies in any number of places. If you\u2019re wondering why you\u2019d want to use Sony\u2019s service, the answer is video fidelity. As noted on the Bravia Core website<\/a>, it includes what the company calls Pure Stream, \u201cwhich can stream HDR movies at up to 80Mbps \u2014 similar to 4K UHD Blu-ray \u2014 on a wide range of content.\u201d That is a significantly<\/em> higher bitrate than anything Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Max, Vudu, or other streamers will give you. So, if you\u2019re a stickler for picture quality and have the right TV for it, you should notice greater detail when using Pure Stream. In addition to all that, Sony also claims it has the largest collection of IMAX Enhanced films of any streaming service.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Pure Stream provides much higher video quality than other streaming services<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Another potential reason to try Sony Pictures Core is early access: Sony says \u201cyou\u2019ll be able to purchase select Sony Pictures films during an exclusive, early access window\u201d before those films reach other digital retailers. This will vary based on what market you\u2019re in. For example, Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story<\/em> is the first early access title in the UK, France, Germany, and Japan, even though it\u2019s already available for rental and purchase in the US. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Last, Sony is going to give PlayStation Plus Premium and Deluxe members a huge serving of free content to help them get started and become familiar with the service. \u201cYou\u2019ll get access to a curated catalog of up to 100 movies through the Sony Pictures Core app to stream on demand from the Sony Pictures library as part of your membership. The catalog, which will be ad-free and updated periodically, features movies such as Looper<\/em>, Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV<\/em>, Elysium<\/em>, and Resident Evil Damnation<\/em>.\u201d Again, in the fine print, Sony says this selection will change over time and depends on what region you\u2019re in \u2014 but free is free. They\u2019re not exactly today\u2019s biggest hits, but who doesn\u2019t like the occasional Looper<\/em> rewatch?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sony says Bravia Core is keeping its old name on other platforms for now and will undergo the rebranding next year. But for PlayStation owners, the new version is available today in 23 markets. You can find it in the PS5\u2019s media section or on the PS Store if you\u2019ve got a PS4.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
