Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) announced that Amazon Prime Video service will launch over the next week on Comcast's cloud-based X1 video platform.

"We are thrilled to give X1 customers access to Amazon Prime Video just in time for the holidays," said Matt Strauss, executive vice president, Xfinity Services, Comcast Cable. "Prime Video is a fantastic extension of the programming choices available to our customers. By integrating hundreds of thousands of live and on demand choices from the best networks, studios and streaming services, our customers can instantly search, control and watch all of their entertainment in one place with their voice."

With Amazon Prime Video integrated into the X1 guide, customers can browse the Prime Video catalog on Xfinity on Demand. In addition to the thousands of titles included with a Prime Video subscription, customers can access titles for rental or purchase, or choose from more than 150 Prime Video Channels to add to their video service, including Showtime and STARZ.

Comcast first announced the Amazon Prime Video integration in August. The MSO launched Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) on X1 in 2016.
