If you logged into your Movies Anywhere account in the past few days, you might have noticed some titles missing from your library, specifically content purchased on Google Play and YouTube. As of October 31st, movies from either platform are no longer available on Movies Anywhere.

 

The change was announced on a brief help page on Movies Anywhere, which simply states: “Effective 10/31/25, Google Play/YouTube will no longer participate in the Movies Anywhere program.” There are no further details about the reasoning behind the break-up. It appears that movies that were already synced to Movies Anywhere from a Google account are still accessible, but new purchases can’t be added to the platform.

 

Google did not respond to a request for comment. Disney, which owns Movies Anywhere, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

 

Movies Anywhere has supported syncing with Google Play since 2017, allowing you to watch movies you purchased from Google Play or YouTube in the same place as films from other services. That support ended the same day that several Disney-owned channels went dark on YouTube TV due to an ongoing contract renewal dispute. Luckily, you can still watch your Google Play movies on YouTube or Google TV.
