Spotify has given its TV app a complete refresh, with a new design, additional features, and more besides.

The Spotify on TV experience is available for games consoles, such asPlayStation 5andXbox Series X/S, plus Smart TVs and streaming devices.

The new version has started to roll out today, 9 November 2023, and is available to all Spotify Free and Premium users through supported devices.

As well as give you access to the entire gamut of Spotify’s streaming modes, whether that be music, podcasts or audiobooks, the TV app now has a swanky new look. It has added a Now Playing View and a redesigned home tab.

This will help users continue with recently played content more easily than before. While personalised recommendations are more visible too.

Account switching has been made more simple, with a profile screen added that looks more like the ones you find onNetflix,Amazon PrimeVideo andDisney+. The new profile screen will line-up the different profiles that listen through the app, while the chosen profile is more prominently placed in the top right-hand corner of the home screen.

The playback queue has been expanded, with users now available to navigate to see what will play next among several tracks. You could previously only see the next song.

And, there’s now a dark mode in case you want to have a more muted, less bright experience at night time, say.
