Company Launches a Prime Video App for Windows 10

If you haven't invested in a Fire TV and instead watch Prime Video on a laptop or desktop PC, Amazon is offering a way to break out of the browser.
The Amazon Prime Video for Windows app is now live on the Windows Store, and brings with it a number of features to support your binge watching over the holiday weekend. It's as you'd expect: an app that presents the full Prime Video experience for Prime members, including access to all Prime Video Channels as well as the ability to subscribe to over 150 premium channels (including HBO, Showtime, Starz, and Cinemax) and support for X-Ray and IMDb information.
You can also use the app to rent or buy TV shows and movie releases, and if your internet connection isn't reliable or you'll be traveling, Amazon allows video downloads to watch offline. All you need is Windows 10 version 17763.0 or higher, and it will run on both x86 and ARM versions of Microsoft's operating system.
A Prime subscription may be more tempting right now, not only because it's a holiday weekend and most people continue to be locked down due to the pandemic, but because YouTube TV just got another hefty price hike, meaning it now costs $65 per month. Anyone canceling their subscription will be searching for an alternative, and Amazon Prime is only $119 a year.
