The Legend of Zelda Movie to Stream Exclusively on Netflix After Theatrical Release

Who’s gearing up to stream the new Zelda movie on Netflix at their in-laws’ in 2027? Why did Sony wipe out over 1,000 shovelware titles from PSN? And just how steep are graphics card prices about to climb? Welcome to a special afternoon edition of your daily gaming news roundup, where we dive into the latest updates, rumors, and culture. It’s been a busy day, so let’s jump right in.

Here’s a fun moment to kick off your weekend: local news anchors struggling to pronounce the names of iconic Pokémon.

“Netflix and Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) have just announced a groundbreaking global Pay-1 licensing deal. Under this exclusive multi-year agreement, SPE’s feature films will stream on Netflix worldwide — a first for the Pay-1 model — after their full theatrical and home entertainment runs,” the companies shared this week. Netflix specifically mentioned Nintendo’s upcoming live-action Zelda adaptation, set to hit theaters on March 26, 2027.

“Some of the initial SPE feature films that will be available on Netflix as part of this new deal include The Nightingale, the eagerly awaited adaptation of Kristin Hannah’s bestseller starring Dakota and Elle Fanning; Sony Pictures Animation’s Buds; Nintendo’s live-action The Legend of Zelda; Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, which wraps up the groundbreaking Spider-Verse trilogy; and Academy Award-winning director Sam Mendes’ ambitious quartet of Beatles films,” the announcement detailed.

In hardware news, it was reported earlier this week that the Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti has effectively reached “end-of-life” status and will no longer be supplied by manufacturers. This was partly based on comments from Asus, which later clarified that the situation was misinterpreted.

“Current fluctuations in supply for both products are mainly due to memory supply constraints, which have temporarily impacted production output and restocking cycles,” they stated. “As a result, availability may seem limited in certain markets, but this should not be seen as a production halt or product retirement.”

So, you can still snag one, right? A quick online search reveals they’re out of stock at major retailers like Best Buy and Microcenter, with even cards marked up 50 percent over the $750 MSRP on back order.

The delistings were first noticed by a member of the Steamgifts forum. Other titles removed from Valve’s storefront include Finding Nemo, Disney Fairies: Tinker Bell’s Adventure, and Chicken Little: Ace in Action. It’s unclear if this is part of a broader strategy from Disney or just a decision to clean up listings for games that aren’t seeing much play. Interestingly, Disney’s Hercules still has seven players in-game right now, according to SteamDB. Another hit to game preservation.

In casting news, she’ll portray Sif, Thor’s wife, alongside Ryan Hurst, who played Thor in God of War Ragnarök but is taking on the role of Kratos here. Confused yet? Notably, Sif doesn’t appear in God of War 2018, suggesting that the first season of the Amazon adaptation will mix characters and events from across the entire Norse saga.

Over 1,000 games were removed, in fact. The mass deletions were highlighted by a user who pointed out that ThiGames_DE was ranked 4th for total listings on PSN. The titles included gems like The Jumping Taco, The Jumping Hot Dog, The Jumping Soda, and The Jumping Taco TURBO. Quick and easy Platinum trophies, in other words. Farewell to some real classics.
