Google raised the price of its 4K streaming box to $149, up $50 from its original $99 price. The new price is currently live at the Google Store and Best Buy, but Amazon appears to still be offering the original price.

The price hike comes just a couple of weeks after Google launched its new lineup of Pixel 11 phones with a $100 price hike over their Pixel 10 counterparts.

The Google TV Streamer originally launched in 2024 and doubles as a smart home hub. It isn’t the only streaming device getting more expensive — component shortages have been driving up prices on everything from laptops to game consoles. Earlier this month, Amazon increased the price of its Fire TV Stick 4K Max by over 40 percent to $84.99. The Apple TV 4K also similarly costs more after Apple’s sweeping price hikes in June, bringing it up to $199 for the 64GB version and $249 for the 128GB version.
