Sony’s Ultra 4K streaming service will launch in April

We first caught glimpse of Sony’s Ultra service at CES 2016 and now Sony has confirmed it will launch in the US on 4th April.

Sony Ultra will have a catalogue of 4K Ultra HD movies including titles such at Concussion, The Walk and Ghostbusters, each available to buy for $30 (around £21). The movies also support HDR.

While it’s good news for the 4K content landscape, Sony’s Ultra service is so far only slated for a US release, with no word on it making its way to the UK.

But being the wonderful English guy he is, he helps out with content across a number of Future sites, including What Hi-Fi?. It wouldn't be his first exposure to the world of all things hi-fi and home cinema, as his first role in technology journalism was with What Hi-Fi? in the UK. Clearly he pined to return after making the move to Australia and the team have welcomed him back with arms wide open.
