Starting from October 31st, 2018, Spotify has officially returned to Roku streaming devices and Roku TVs: An app for the music streaming service became available on Roku’s channel store, where it had been removed from Roku since late last year in order to improve the overall experience.
Almost a year later, the channel is back and better than ever. Now, you can search for albums and playlists to listen to or browse music recommendations from Spotify directly on your Roku device. Spotify’s new app works with Roku’s latest operating system version 8.2 or higher and streaming players from the 3600 series and above.
