content remains unavailable to PS3 users due to DRM restrictions. The PS3 iPlayer was withdrawn from October 2020 as part of a BBC closure policy for older devices. PlayStation 4 In October 2013, Sony confirmed that the PlayStation 4 would have the BBC iPlayer app. Additionally, they announced that BBC iPlayer would continue to be free to access and would not be part of the PlayStation Plus subscription service.
