Netflix has raised the prices of all three of its subscription tiers again. Whether you use the service to watch TV and movies or play video games, this will impact you.
Variety spotted that Netflix had modified its subscription prices on its website today, March 26, increasing each by a small amount. The cheapest Standard With Ads plan is now $9 a month (previously $8 a month). The Standard plan is now $20 a month (previously $18 a month), while the most expensive Premium subscription tier is now $27 a month (previously $25 a month).
These price hikes sting because Netflix already raised its subscription fees early last year. In general, subscription services of all kinds have faced price increases recently, with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate notably raising its monthly cost from $20 to $30 last October. The most expensive Netflix tier is still a little bit cheaper than that, and will give you access to movies, TV shows, and games.
Although gaming is not what Netflix is best known for, it has maintained a healthy library of mobile games in recent years. The iOS and Android titles included feature no added microtransactions or hidden fees, and some can even be played on your TV via cloud gaming. Netflix recently pivoted to a more casual and IP-focused game strategy, which has resulted in some game studios it owns closing or spinning off independently.
Expect these increased monthly prices to take effect for you the next time you need to renew your subscription.
