Netflix Shuts Out PS3 and Other Old Devices, Forcing Quick Upgrades

Netflix will end support for its app on the PlayStation 3 and several older smart TVs and set-top boxes effective March 2, 2026, leaving affected users about two weeks to upgrade. The move expands its phase‑out of outdated hardware (including BT Z4/G4 boxes) to streamline performance and security. Netflix has previously dropped support for legacy devices (e.g., 2011–2013 Sony TVs, first‑gen Apple TV), and users are advised to switch to newer streaming sticks or modern consoles to avoid disruption.
