While the balances are changing in the digital broadcasting world, the expected transition to the ad model for Amazon’s Prime Video Türkiye service, which is of great interest to users in our country, has been officially announced. This strategy, which has been implemented in many countries globally, will also be active in the local market as of June 17, 2026. In the informative message it sent to its users, the company stated that it took this step to maintain the quality of the existing content and increase its investments in new domestic and foreign productions.
Content Investments Increase with Limited Advertising Model According to the official statement made by Amazon, movies and TV series on the platform will now meet the audience with “limited advertisements”. The main reason for this change is given as increasing digital publishing costs and making content production processes sustainable. The platform, which focuses on original productions especially in the Turkish market, aims to use the resources obtained from advertising revenues in long-term project investments.
The most critical point for users is that this change does not directly affect existing Prime membership rights and standard package fee. Will the Current Prime Membership Price Change? Clarification was also provided about subscription fees, which is one of the issues that users are most curious about. Amazon has confirmed that it will not increase the current Prime membership fee. Prime membership, currently 69.00 TL per month; It will continue to include fast shipping, special discounts, Prime Gaming and Prime Video access.
However, users who watch video content with this standard package after June 17 will encounter a limited number of ads during the broadcast. The Monthly Price of Ad-Free Watching Pleasure Has Been Announced. A new optional package is being launched for users who want to continue watching their content uninterrupted and ad-free. Accordingly, users who pay 59.90 TL per month in addition to the existing 69.00 TL Prime membership will be able to benefit from the ad-free subscription option.
Thus, the total cost of using the platform completely ad-free will reach 138.90 TL per month with the standard membership and additional package. The company underlined that this transition is not mandatory and that users who wish can continue with advertising at the current fee. The Rise of Advertised Packages in Digital Publishing This step taken by Amazon is actually part of the general trend in the digital broadcasting industry.
Following giants such as Netflix and Disney, Prime Video Turkey aims to diversify its revenue models by introducing ad-supported models. For users in Turkey, June 17, 2026 will be the beginning of a new era in streaming. While users do not need to take any action until this date, those who want to switch to the ad-free option will be able to apply on the platform as of the relevant date.
