Spotify is rolling out a new audiobook feature for select Premium subscribers, marking its latest push into spoken-word content. The add-on, called Audiobooks+, grants users access to a catalog of over 200,000 titles, complementing the platform’s existing music and podcast offerings. Initially available in the UK and Australia, the service is expected to expand to other markets soon. Subscribers can enjoy 15 hours of monthly listening, with the option to purchase additional hours if needed. The move positions Spotify to better compete with audiobook giants like Audible and Apple Books. Industry analysts suggest this could further solidify Spotify’s dominance in the audio streaming space, as it continues to diversify beyond music. The company has not yet confirmed pricing details for regions outside the initial launch areas.
