Google announced that its Google Play Movies & TV will no longer be available through Android TV devices or the Google Play website, as it works to “simplify” how the users buy new movies and access them.

Android TV users can watch or buy/rent new movies through the Shop tab’s ‘Your Library’ row. Those using cable boxes or set-top boxes powered by Android TV will be able to access content through the YouTube app. The same condition applies to web browser users.
Previously bought titles or active rented ones will remain available on Android TV devices, Google TV devices, the Google TV mobile app for both Android and iOS, and YouTube.
Most of these changes are scheduled to come into force from January 17 next year.
