NBCUniversal's streaming service, Peacock, has implemented a price increase across all subscription tiers, effective August 18. This move comes shortly after the platform announced it had achieved profitability, marking the fourth such price adjustment in four years.
The company stated that the price hikes are intended to support the "best experience for its viewers, remain competitive in the marketplace, and deliver unique content across all genres." New and returning subscribers will immediately face the higher costs, while existing customers will see the changes reflected in their billing cycles after September 17.
