Peacock is raising subscription prices for the fourth time in as many years - Engadget

Is there any cost too high to watch Love Island?

It's happening again. Peacock is raising subscription prices, despite just announcing its first-ever profitable quarter. These aren't slight increases. This is a significant uptick. The standard ad-based plan is shooting up to $13 per month from $10, and the Premium Plus subscription will soon be $20 instead of $17. Yikes.

This also impacts the Peacock Select subscription, which is a bare-bones package that only includes select seasons of some NBC and Bravo shows. That's going up to $9 per month from $8.

This is the fourth such increase in four years. This streamer isn't even particularly known for its original scripted content. There's a spin-off of The Office and that adaptation of Twisted Metal.

It's also worth noting that Peacock is not the only platform that consistently raises prices. They pretty much all do. Netflix, HBO Max, Apple TV, Paramount+ and YouTube Premium have all become most expensive in the past couple of years.
