A new streaming bundle featuring Netflix, Apple TV+, and Peacock is surprisingly cheap. Although streaming was essentially monopolized by Netflix in the early going, over the past decade, more and more companies have developed their own proprietary streaming services. In addition to Apple’s Apple TV+ and NBCUniversal’s Peacock, major streaming services now include Disney+, Paramount+, Max, and many more, which, added together, frequently cost more than the cable plans that streaming had more or less replaced, which has led to an increase in bundled streaming packages, particularly for platforms owned by the same company such as Disney+ and Hulu.
Per TVLine, Comcast has announced that their streaming bundle, which packages the otherwise unrelated streaming services Netflix, Apple TV+, and Peacock, has been set at a price point of just $15 a month. The service, which is available to Comcast customers, is called Xfinity StreamSaver. That price point is significantly lower than all three services separately. Even at their lowest subscription tiers, the trio of streamers would cost a total of $22.97 a month if purchased individually.
What Movies And TV Shows Are Included In Xfinity StreamSaver?
Netflix, Peacock, and Apple TV+ Have Many Titles In Their Libraries
With these three streaming services combined, there is a wealth of movie and television titles that will be available to stream via Xfinity StreamSaver. Apple TV+, for instance, is a service dominated by A-list star led prestige shows including The Morning Show, The Crowded Room, and Masters of the Air, as well as genre shows such as Severance and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. However, they have also been featuring more and more big-budget Apple Original blockbuster movies that hit theaters before coming to the service, including Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, Ridley Scott’s Napoleon, and Matthew Vaughn’s Argylle.
Killers of the Flower Moon
was nominated for 10 Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Lead Actress.
Netflix, which has a rotating library of licensed titles, also features an ever-expanding roster of original movies and shows. Some of the most prominent Netflix movies include the Rian Johnson sequel Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, the Chris Hemsworth actioner Extraction, and the apocalyptic horror-thriller Bird Box, based on the Josh Malerman novel of the same name. Their flagship shows, which are typically released a full season at a time for maximum binging potential, include Stranger Things, Heartstopper, Wednesday, Squid Game, and Bridgerton.

From classics like Gilmore Girls and Seinfeld to twisty sci-fi like Stranger Things, the best shows on Netflix have something for everyone.
Peacock, which largely creates originals based on NBCUniversal IP such as Bel-Air, The Continental: From the World of John Wick, and Saved by the Bell, also streams much of NBCUniversal’s extensive library. This includes many popular shows such as The Office and Parks and Recreation. Between that library and those of Netflix and Apple TV+, this package contains a wide-ranging array of content. It remains to be seen if that price point stays the same over the coming years or is matched elsewhere outside Comcast, but it’s surprisingly low considering the cost of the individual services.
