On July 18, Microsoft suddenly ceased offering purchases and rentals for movies and TV shows on PC and Xbox. The change comes as a surprise to fans of the service, but users will still be able to access past purchases on Microsoft's Movies & TV app, at least for now.

Microsoft has suddenly shut its movies and TV store on Xbox consoles and Windows PCs. As of today, you can no longer purchase new movies or TV shows from the Microsoft Store on Xbox or Windows, but you will still be able to access previously purchased content on your devices.

Unfortunately, Microsoft says it is not providing any refunds or ways for users to transfer their libraries to other digital video services. However, U.S. users can link select titles to Movies Anywhere, a platform that consolidates digital purchases from participating retailers into a single library.
