Sony Pictures Core (stylised in all caps, formerly known as Bravia Core) is a video on demand service from Sony for its televisions and smartphones, launched in April 2021. The service offers the streaming of movies at up to 4K resolution provided by Sony Pictures Entertainment.[1] CORE stands for Centre of Real Entertainment.[1]
It initially came built into Bravia XR television sets made in 2021 and has since also been expanded to its Mini LED, OLED and QD-OLED ranges.[2] In May 2022, Bravia Core was released for the Sony Xperia 1 III and 1 IV smartphones[3] and has since also been preloaded on the Xperia 5 line.[4]
Sony claims that Bravia Core has one of the largest library of IMAX Enhanced format film content. Streaming, which is marketed as Pure Stream, is claimed to be at speeds of up to 80 Mbit/s.[2] The service is offered for a two-year trial to customers.[5]
On October 5, 2023, Bravia Core was renamed Sony Pictures Core, and was officially launched on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles. New features include early access to select films from Sony's studios, with Gran Turismo (2023) being the first early access film in select markets. PlayStation Plus Premium/Deluxe subscribers will also receive access to a rotating catalog of select films, with other benefits for all PlayStation Plus members to be announced at a later date.[6]
