Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder and executive chairman, has pushed Prime Video head Mike Hopkins to overhaul the streaming service with a focus on artificial intelligence, according to four sources. The resulting project, internally called Lighthouse, aims to showcase Amazon's AI capabilities to over 200 million Prime Video users. The initiative follows a contentious internal presentation last autumn where Bezos expressed displeasure that previous plans did not sufficiently highlight AI and personalization. Lighthouse includes new features such as AI-driven film and TV recommendations, voice response capabilities, and a redesigned home page with pre-populated viewing suggestions like 'action movies from the 1980s.' Amazon has committed some $200 billion to capital expenditures this year, primarily for AI development, and invested $23 billion in OpenAI and Anthropic. Prime Video is already testing versions of the redesign with a few users, though final plans may change based on feedback or financial concerns. Amazon declined to comment.

Amazon and Microsoft announced divergent cloud gaming strategies on July 23, 2026. Amazon will integrate its Luna cloud gaming service into Prime Video, giving it prominent placement within the Prime subscription bundle ($14.99/month). Microsoft's Xbox division will test an advertising-supported model allowing users to stream games they already own, with a one-hour session limit for Xbox Insider Program participants. The moves come as both tech giants seek to overcome network latency issues that have hindered cloud gaming adoption. Microsoft's new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, who replaced Phil Spencer in February 2026, has been implementing aggressive changes including price cuts, workforce reductions, and studio spinouts. The ad-supported test follows Netflix's successful ad-tier model, though Xbox faces historical consumer resistance to in-game advertising. Amazon launched Luna in 2020 during the pandemic, while Google discontinued its competing Stadia service in 2023.

Ars Technica reviews the series finale of Prime Video's Good Omens, a 90-minute episode concluding the third season. The reviewer notes that while the truncated format makes the first half feel chaotic and rushed, the strong chemistry between stars David Tennant and Michael Sheen ensures a satisfying conclusion to the angel-demon love story. The article details the plot, where Aziraphale, now Supreme Archangel, attempts to reform the Second Coming into a peaceful event, while a heartbroken Crowley struggles with purpose. The review also provides crucial production context, explaining that the original six-episode season was reduced to a single finale due to delays from the 2023 writers' strike and the fallout from sexual assault allegations against co-creator Neil Gaiman. Gaiman denied non-consensual acts but admitted to careless behavior, ultimately withdrawing from the project. Despite these challenges and narrative shortcuts, the critic argues the finale successfully wraps up the saga, leveraging the protagonists' relationship to deliver an emotionally resonant ending for fans of the series based on the novel by Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.
