Developing for the future

Sky Live is the latest addition to the Sky TV Entertainment OS ecosystem, which includes Sky Glass and Sky Stream. Sky Live will never stay the same; its software will continue to evolve, with new games, workouts, features and more to come in future releases.

Fraser Stirling, Global Chief Product Officer at Sky, said: “We surprised everyone when we launched our streaming TV, Sky Glass, in 2021. Now we’re doing it again. Sky Live makes your TV much more than just a TV, by introducing new entertainment experiences for the heart of your home.

*Customers require a Sky Glass, Sky Live and a subscription to the same channel / package to see the content in a Watch Together session (currently excluding UHD). If you do not have the same package, you will still be able to chat to video participants in a Watch Together room.
