Netflix is set to discontinue support for certain older smart TVs and the PlayStation 3 console. This change will prevent these devices from streaming Netflix content. Users can address this by purchasing affordable streaming sticks like Roku or Fire TV Stick.
Netflix has announced that it will soon stop supporting some older smart TVs and the PlayStation 3 (PS3) console, as reported by TechRadar. This means that starting from an unspecified date in the near future, these devices will no longer be able to access Netflix's streaming service.
The decision affects users who rely on legacy hardware for entertainment. According to the publication, the support cutoff is part of Netflix's ongoing updates to its platform compatibility. While specific models of older smart TVs are not detailed in the available information, the PS3 is explicitly mentioned as one of the affected consoles.
To mitigate the impact, TechRadar highlights that affordable alternatives are readily available. Streaming devices such as the Roku or Amazon Fire TV Stick can be obtained at low prices, allowing users to continue enjoying Netflix on newer setups connected to their existing TVs.
This development follows Netflix's pattern of phasing out support for outdated technology to focus on modern streaming standards. Users with compatible devices should check Netflix's official announcements for exact timelines.
