The Bottom Line

Amazon Prime Video subscribers lose 4K support unless they upgrade to new Ultra tier.

How This Affects You

Your Prime Video will lose 4K quality on April 10 unless you upgrade to the new Ultra subscription.

AI Summary

Amazon will raise its ad-free Prime Video tier to $5 per month on April 10, up from the current $3, while launching "Prime Video Ultra" that increases simultaneous streams from three to five and downloads from 25 to 100. Starting that date, 4K viewing will require the new Ultra subscription, removing 4K support from the standard ad-free tier that currently offers it.
