In November 2024, Amazon introduced an AI-powered feature dubbed X-Ray Recaps for Prime Video. The feature was designed to create generative AI summaries of shows and episodes, and it builds upon Prime Video’s existing X-Ray feature.

The streaming platform launched a dedicated news section on Dec. 3, giving U.S. users access to hundreds of 24/7 news channels at no additional cost. This follows Amazon’s decision this past summer to shut down its stand-alone Freevee app and direct viewers to watch that content on Prime Video instead.

Amazon Prime Video announced a dedicated free news hub for its U.S. subscribers. The streaming giant’s U.S. customers can now tune in to local, national, and global news coverage from major providers, according to its press release.

Amazon said the new news section will be free for all U.S. Prime Video customers by the end of the year. That means no additional subscription fees. The news destination is easy to find. People can open the Prime Video app, go to the top menu, and tap the news tab to start watching.

Amazon Prime Video just pulled a noticeable move that could make the streaming platform even more of a worthy contender.

Prime Video’s experiment with AI generated episode recaps backfired when the system produced wildly incorrect summaries for Fallout. After the backlash, Amazon removed the feature entirely, raising questions whether AI is ready for handling story driven content.

Amazon is being forced to repeatedly learn a lesson: use AI slop, and get people yelling at you until you don't.

Maxton Hall - The World Between Us is among the highly acclaimed TV series on Amazon Prime Video. It follows Ruby Bell, a girl from a decent background, who has been studying really hard, only to get enrolled into Oxford University in the future.

On Prime Video, recaps can be played in the "Extras" section if you're watching on the web, or via a dedicated "recap button" on the show's page, according to Amazon's original Video Recaps announcement.

Amazon Prime Video has pulled its AI-powered video recap of Fallout after viewers noticed that it got key parts of the story wrong. The streaming service began testing Video Recaps last month, and now they’re missing from the shows included in the test, including Fallout, The Rig, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Upload, and Bosch.

Amazon MGM Studios has unveiled a series of first-look stills for The Wrecking Crew, their action-comedy starring Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa, which premieres on Prime Video on January 28.
