Amazon is bringing its free streaming platform Amazon MX Player into Prime Video, creating a single destination for both ad-supported and subscription-based entertainment in India. The upcoming Amazon MX Player integration is expected to roll out over the next few months.
The merger will allow users to access premium shows, free content, movie rentals, and add-on subscriptions under one platform. Prime members will get the option to watch content with ads or switch to an ad-free experience. Non-subscribers will continue accessing a wide range of free content while also receiving direct upgrade options through the platform. The move marks a major step in the ongoing Amazon MX Player integration strategy.
What Amazon MX Player Integration Means for Users
Amazon MX Player was formed in 2024 after Amazon acquired selected assets of the legacy MX Player brand and merged them with Amazon miniTV. The service quickly built a large audience base through regional originals, reality shows, microdramas, and dubbed international titles.
Gaurav Gandhi added that the larger content catalog and audience reach created through the Amazon MX Player integration would strengthen Prime Video’s entertainment offerings across India.
How the Platform Transition Will Work
Amazon confirmed that Android users can continue using the Amazon MX Player app, which will gradually transition into a dedicated Prime Video experience. Users will also see an option to upgrade to Prime membership directly through the app.
Meanwhile, users accessing Amazon MX Player through iOS devices, connected TVs, or web browsers will be redirected to Prime Video. Free ad-supported content from MX Player will still remain available after the Amazon MX Player integration is complete.
The decision reflects a growing trend in India’s OTT industry, where streaming platforms are blending free and paid models to attract wider audiences and increase engagement.
