What’s new on Prime Video? The answer changes almost every day. Prime Video has a huge library that’s constantly rotating, whether you’re seeking new shows and movies you can watch with your subscription, or looking for the newest blockbuster film releases that you can pay extra to stream at home instead of watching in theaters.

But with all those titles available to stream, you might find yourself asking if Prime Video offers the ability to stream in 4K! We’ve got the answer right here, so keep reading for more details.

Can you watch Prime Video in 4K?

Does Prime Video carry 4K titles?

It does indeed! A wide range of Prime Video original shows and movies are available in 4K Ultra-High-Definition, and the streaming service also carries a selection of transactional video-on-demand (TVOD) titles that you can rent or buy for an additional fee in 4K as well. Older titles in its library will be less available in 4K, as a rule of thumb.

If you’re wondering if the show or movie you want to watch on Prime Video is in 4K, look for the UHD symbol on the show’s details page, as pictured below.

What plan do you need to stream in 4K on Prime Video?

You can use the ad-supported Prime Video plan for $9 per month to stream any titles found on the service in 4K. There’s no need to upgrade to the higher-cost ad-free plan, as there is on many other streaming services.

What bitrate do you need to stream in 4K on Prime Video?

The bare minimum download speed needed to stream on Prime Video is 16 Mbps, but you should upgrade to 25 Mbps or more if possible to get the best possible 4K experience on Prime Video.

What devices can you use to stream in 4K on Prime Video?

Prime Video doesn’t offer a specific list of devices you can use to stream in 4K with, but if your smart TV, streaming player, or console bills itself as 4K-enabled, there’s a good probability you’ll be able to use it to watch in UHD.

Does Prime Video stream live sports in 4K?

Prime Video offers a wide range of live sports, including the NFL’s “Thursday Night Football” and live NBA games starting in 2025. However, Prime Video does not offer any live sporting events in 4K as of now.
