PlayStation Plus is a gaming subscription rather than a streaming service, so it isn’t counted above, but it also raised prices in 2026.
Changed in 2025, not 2026
Disney+, Hulu and HBO Max (October 21, 2025), Xbox Game Pass and Peloton (October 1, 2025) and Apple TV (August 21, 2025) raised prices in 2025; see the tracker for those rows. Apple’s own page showed $14.99 a month for Apple TV on Oct 16, 2026, above its 2025 price of $12.99, and that later change, dated Aug 28, 2026, is in the table above.
