Summary
Roku’s biggest new push is subscription bundling: users in the U.S. and Mexico can buy more than 30 streaming-service combinations with savings of up to 30% versus separate plans.
The bundles span services including AMC+, Fox One and Starz, and Roku says they will be surfaced across its subscriptions hub, streaming store and premium-subscription home for easier discovery and switching.
Brazil and Mexico are also getting Roku’s redesigned homescreen after its U.S. debut in May, alongside smarter search, more personalized recommendations and broader voice commands such as weather previews.
Roku is adding a new Labs program for experimental TV apps, including Roku City Dash, Stocks, Weather and Backdrops Studio, while also open-sourcing LT OS for its remote.
