Tubi has long offered free, ad-supported streaming with both live channels and on-demand titles. Today, the Fox-owned company announced a new feature called Mixtapes that allows users to create and share personalized playlists.

Users can select movies and TV episodes from Tubi’s library of nearly 400,000 titles to build these collections. The platform states that viewers can give each mixtape a title and description. They can also arrange the content in any preferred order. Viewers may build a list entirely on their own or use an AI-assisted starting point that they can later edit, rearrange, or rebuild.

Once finished, users can publish the mixtape to share with others or keep it private. The Mixtapes website already hosts several examples. One playlist, titled Millennial Memory Lane, includes films such as Cruel Intentions and The Fifth Element, along with series like Everybody Hates Chris and Degrassi: The Next Generation. Another list, called Bald Baddies, features Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw and Central Intelligence.

Watching a shared mixtape does not require a user account, but creating one does. The company introduced this tool as streaming providers seek to reduce the frustration associated with content fragmentation. A 2025 Gracenote report surveyed 3,000 consumers across six countries. It found that nearly 33 percent of streaming users feel that service fragmentation negatively impacts their viewing experience.

The feature is available immediately on the Tubi platform. No further rollout dates were specified for additional tools or integrations.
