About
Amazon Prime Video is Amazon's (NASDAQ: AMZN) subscription streaming video service — included with Amazon Prime ($139/year or $14.99/month) or available standalone ($8.99/month) — providing on-demand access to 25,000+ movies and TV series including Amazon Original productions, licensed content, and live sports (NFL Thursday Night Football, NBA beginning 2025, Premier League UK). Generating an estimated $14+ billion in content and advertising revenue in 2024, Prime Video is embedded in Amazon Prime's 220 million global subscriber base and serves as a key driver of Prime retention alongside shipping benefits.
Twitch still commands 54% of live game streaming watch hours globally but faces accelerating pressure from YouTube Gaming's 25% year-over-year growth and upstart Kick.
