Roku Updates Home Screen To Boost Monetization
6.9
Roku confirmed plans to introduce substantial home screen upgrades this year, prioritizing monetization and engagement after mid-2025 trials with select users. Testers saw dynamic elements such as a "For You" row, simplified sidebar, and Quick Access recommendations, though Quick Access was pulled from trial devices. The company says updates will use AI-driven personalization and new ad placements to increase platform activity and revenue.
