Roku navigated a choppy waters by launching several ambitious changes, some of which sparked immediate debate.

But the focus wasn’t just on hardware; Roku was pushing boundaries in display technology too. They made a bold commitment by announcing their debut of the first-ever OLED TVs, bringing cutting-edge picture quality to more consumers.
All while executing these large-scale changes, the streaming giant remained dedicated to its core mission: content. Roku has been busy expanding its offerings by adding tons of new free channels to The Roku Channel, ensuring there is always something compelling for viewers to discover.
From controversial design choices and huge corporate deals to technological advancements and massive content expansion, Roku’s year was a true demonstration of adapting and evolving in the rapidly changing digital entertainment landscape.
