Today, without any pre-notification, Microsoft suddenly canceled the ability to buy movies and TV series on Xbox consoles and Windows devices.

This sudden move was first discovered by fans, when Microsoft released a Q&A Q&A detailing the change - but in fact these changes have already been launched.

The movie and TV content that users have purchased before can still be watched, and you can still use Xbox to play media you already own, such as DVDs and Blu-ray discs.But film and television enthusiasts will no longer be able to expand their digital library, nor can they transfer purchased content to other service platforms, and Microsoft will not provide refunds to help users rebuild their collections on other platforms.

On the console side, the impact of this sudden removal is particularly obvious, because the Xbox's mall interface still retains the classification entrances for movies and TV series, but these areas are now completely empty.It can be expected that Microsoft will completely remove these categories through host system updates later.

Microsoft has not explained why it decided to stop selling movies and TV series, but with the rise of streaming subscription services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and other streaming media, ownership of digital media has gradually been marginalized.

Meanwhile, for those who still want to have content directly, collectors are still continuing to buy traditional brick-and-mortar media—while this may be a bit cumbersome, there is no need to worry about network connectivity or long-term service support.

In Microsoft's own Q&A response, the company roughly expressed a similar meaning - and directly directed users to other platforms.

“Microsoft stores on Xbox and Windows still offer other entertainment services, where users can find the latest home entertainment content on these platforms. Currently available purchases include: Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Fandango at Home, etc.”
