Pluto TV Shifts Navigation to Top Bar, Merging App Stack With Paramount+

1 articles · Updated · Cord Cutters News · Aug 16

Pluto TV is rolling out a redesigned app that replaces its signature left-side menu with a top navigation bar, giving Movies, TV Shows and Live TV more equal prominence.
The interface change comes with a deeper migration onto Paramount+’s shared app foundation, letting Paramount use one stack for recommendations, data pipelines and ad technology across both services.
Pluto TV remains a separate free ad-supported service with its own branding and content library, while the unified backend is meant to cut duplicate engineering work and improve personalization and ad targeting.
Roku, web and mobile platforms are receiving the update in phases as Paramount tracks engagement, retention and on-demand viewing ahead of broader deployment tied to its mid-2026 consolidation target.
