There’s no turning back: Google Play Movies & TV will disappear for good

Over the years, Google has gained a reputation for being ruthless with its services (they even have a website dedicated to all the products and platforms that Google has axed). It’s clear that the big G isn’t afraid of changes, so this new blow doesn’t surprise us: Google Play Movies & TV will permanently disappear in January 2024.

Since the launch of Google TV in 2020, the company began replacing Movies & TV in areas such as mobile applications. Later on, the Google Play Store itself stopped displaying the Movies and TV tab in May. Now, the company aims to completely do away with the service. This strategy became more than evident last October when the company decided to remove the Movies & TV app from Android TV.

Fortunately, you’ll still be able to access the content you purchased through Google Play Movies & TV. In a new post published by Google themselves, they clarify the situation: “with these changes, Google Movies & TV will no longer be available on devices with Android TV or on the Google Play website. However, you’ll still be able to access all your purchased titles (including active rentals) through devices with Android TV, Google TV, the Google TV mobile app (Android and iOS), and YouTube.”

The closing date will be January 17, 2024. From then on, Google Movies & TV will cease to function permanently. As expected, it will also be discontinued on devices where the integrated application was present. For the company, this represents a way to centralize all its content in one place, Google TV.
