Amazon Upgrades Alexa Plus on Fire TV with New Hub and Mobile App
Amazon announced a major Alexa Plus upgrade for Fire TV, including a new hub, better reasoning, and a mobile app expansion, rolling out in November 2026.
Amazon has announced a significant revamp of Alexa Plus for Fire TV devices, introducing a dedicated hub, improved reasoning capabilities, and an expansion to the Fire TV mobile app. The upgraded experience will begin rolling out in November 2026 in the US.
The new Alexa Plus hub on Fire TV aims to make interactions more natural. It will use real-world context such as cultural references, awards, and events, and tap into subscriptions and watch history to offer personalized recommendations. The interface is also being refreshed to support follow-up questions, threaded conversations, and returning to older queries.
On mobile, Alexa Plus is coming to the Fire TV app with both text and voice search. Users will be able to share images or articles to curate movie and TV lists. The upgraded mobile app will arrive later this year for US customers, with global availability next year.
The initial rollout in November 2026 will start with Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd Gen), Fire TV Cube, Amazon Ember TVs, and TVs with Fire TV built in from TCL and Hisense. The latest Fire TV Stick 4K will receive the new Alexa Plus features next year, when Amazon also expands to other regions.
Background
Amazon first released the Alexa Plus AI assistant in a limited capacity last year. In October 2025, the company made Alexa Plus available for free to all Fire TV users in the US. Additionally, Amazon refreshed the Fire TV Stick lineup with new models today.
