If you own a Roku TV or streaming device, your home screen is about to look very different. Roku just unveiled its most significant home screen redesign in over ten years, rolling out today across all Roku TVs and streaming devices in the US.
Here is everything that is new on your Roku home screen
The redesign introduces several new features built around getting you to content faster. The Quick Access section your most-used apps front and center, powered by AI that continuously adapts to your habits. You can also manually add or remove apps if you prefer to be in control.
At the top of the screen, Top Picks for You is an expanded, personalized content section showing what you love to watch, what is trending on Roku, and the biggest entertainment of the moment.
A new For You destination goes deeper, pulling fresh personalized picks based on your interests. The Subscriptions destination brings together content from all your paid streaming services in one place, so you are not hunting across apps.
Destinations are genre and mood-based hubs spanning comedy, movies, sports, and more, with context-aware search that adapts depending on where you are browsing.
Your Daily Scoop is a real-time AI-powered row that surfaces breakout shows and cultural trends updated hourly. The home screen menu is now collapsible, keeping the interface clean until you need it.
Shortcuts like Continue Watching, Sleep Timer, and Save List are also easier to reach. There is even a new Roku City tile that takes you into an interactive version of the iconic screensaver, complete with Daily Trivia, Roklue and retro games like Roku City Dash.
When will your Roku get the new home screen?
The update rolls out automatically starting today in the US, so just wait for your device to update itself. Roku founder and CEO Anthony Wood says every change was grounded in what users actually do and need, shaped by extensive viewer feedback and behavioral data. Last month, Roku also added six free channels covering classic sitcoms, reality TV, and films.
