Per a report from Polygon, the company is currently testing out a new “Ultra” subscription tier for its users. As of right now, the new subscription option is currently only being made available to some European users.

There’s currently not a whole lot of information out about the new tier, but we do know that is called “Ultra” and it will allow users to watch the latest binge-worthy show on four screens at one time.

At first glance, it doesn’t appear that there’s a lot of differences between the Ultra and Premium options, but as Polygon points out, some users have noted that the Premium subscription has been brought down to just two screens.

What’s more, the new tier will bring the monthly price of the service’s membership up a bit higher. As first reported by Tutto Android, this new “Ultra” tier will cost users €16.99, which roughly translates to almost $20 in the United States.

While details of the new subscription are still limited, it appears that the company is testing various methods to see what users prefer.

According to CNet, a Netflix spokeswoman said that the service is “testing slightly different price points and features to better understand how consumers value Netflix.”

As of right now, Netflix currently offers three plans: Basic, Standard and Premium.
