ROXi arrives on Sky Q with Unlimited Music, Music Trivia Games, Karaoke-style Singalongs, Worldwide Radio and much more

Launching on Sky Q today, music service ROXi brings an entertaining mix of Unlimited Music, music games, radio and Karaoke to the living room, all in one place.

ROXi is the only ‘Made-for-TV’ shared music entertainment experience. Listen to over 55 million songs, challenge your music knowledge with interactive music trivia games or enjoy hundreds of playlists for every occasion – including playlists from Robbie Williams, Sheryl Crow & more.

With ROXi you can also tune into 1000s of radio stations, ‘Sing with the stars’ karaoke-style and duet with your favourite artists or unwind with ROXi’s ‘Sound Machine’ – a relaxing audio-visual experience perfect for Yoga and meditation.

Simply find it by saying ‘Open ROXi’ or ‘launch ROXi’ into your Sky Q voice remote or find it in Sky Q’s ‘Apps’ section. ROXi joins a range of other brilliant apps all in one place on the Sky Q box, including, Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, YouTube Kids, iPlayer and many more.

Until now, ROXi’s music entertainment experience has only been available on ROXi’s dedicated Music Entertainment Console. This is the first time ROXi’s unique mix of fun music entertainment has been available on another platform.

Fraser Stirling, Group Chief Product Officer, said: “Having access to all your favourite apps on the big TV screen is more important than ever, as we use our televisions for everything from entertainment to fitness. ROXi is the latest in a line of brilliant services to be added to Sky Q, so you can get music, games, online video, education and TV all in one place.

Rob Lewis, CEO of ROXi, said: “With the launch of ‘ROXi on Sky Q’, Sky subscribers can listen together, sing together, dance together and play music games together, without the need to buy any dedicated hardware.

Lewis continues, “The next revolution in digital entertainment is about shared entertainment experiences that bring friends and family together for great fun times, delivered on the biggest screen in the home - the television. Today’s launch on Sky Q brings ROXi to millions of consumers. By the end of 2022, we’re aiming to make ROXi available to some 500 million TVs.”
