Pluto TV Has Updated Its Roku Channel With a New Interface, Watch Lists & More

Pluto TV viewers on the Pluto TV Roku Channel should now be noticing a new look on the free streaming service. The new design went live last night and users are already finding that the update has made it easier to find and launch channels, along with marking favorites and creating watch lists to navigate to content even more quickly.

With the new design, Pluto TV has made it easier for users to jump to each of the content categories: Featured, Movies, Entertainment, News, Binge Watch, Comedy, Sports, Explore, Life + Style, Tech + Geek, Kids, Latino, and Music. The categories are listed in a menu above the grid guide for easy navigation.

If you don’t have the new update just go into your Roku system settings and run an update.
