Amazon Job Listing Points to 2025 Launch of Linux-Based Vega OS for Fire TV

Reports point to a move that reduces reliance on Google, introducing a React Native app model.

Overview

  • An Amazon job posting explicitly referenced “Vega OS” and said a Prime Video app for the platform would launch in 2025 before the company edited the listing.
  • Amazon removed the Vega references and declined to comment, according to outlets that captured the original wording.
  • Multiple reports say a low-key reveal could come at the Sept. 30 Devices & Services event in New York, though the timing is not confirmed.
  • Reporting describes Vega as an in-house Linux system using React Native for apps with a content-first home screen experience.
  • Coverage indicates Vega will ship only on new Fire TV hardware while existing devices and some partner-made Fire TVs continue on Android for the foreseeable future.
