Comcast said the integration of Amazon Prime into its X1 platform, announced over the summer, has been deployed.

When the integration is completely rolled out next week, all X1 users will be able to search and navigate the subscription streaming service natively through X1 using their voice remote.

Comcast has already integrated a number of popular streaming platforms into X1, including Netflix, YouTube and Tubi.
