Samsung Blu Ray Player Update May 2026

SEOUL – Samsung has officially ended firmware support for its remaining Blu-ray player models, a quiet but significant milestone marking the company’s complete exit from the physical home media market.

Another user attempted to update via USB using the last firmware file from 2019, only to find the player already up to date. “The problem is the lack of an update, not a failed one,” they noted. Samsung stopped manufacturing Blu-ray players in early 2019, citing a global decline in physical disc sales in favor of streaming services like Netflix and Disney+. At the time, the company promised “continued firmware support for existing devices.” That promise, it seems, has expired. samsung blu ray player update
