Amazon has announced the addition of free, ad-supported music videos to Fire TV, plus gaming content, viral videos, and more.

Fire TV customers in the US will soon be able to access tens of thousands of premium music videos from major and independent labels — no sign-ups, subscriptions, or fees required. Beginning rollout today, music videos — powered by XITE — will be available from artists on the Billboard Hot 100, including Taylor Swift, Drake, Harry Styles, Lizzo, Karol G, and Luke Combs, as well as a back catalog of classics from any genre. New content will be added daily, expanding the collection of music videos.

The free service also includes unlimited music video skips, lets customers search for artists and tracks, and can play a continuous stream of similar music videos.
