New Japan Pro Wrestling has announced some significant upgrades are coming to its streaming service, NJPW World, this fall.  

The new service will include apps for iOS, Android, and Roku TV. Video on the service will be upgraded to full HD and users will also have the ability to download content to watch offline. Search functions will also be improved. 

The price for the service is increasing from ¥999 JPY ($6.82 USD) per month to ¥1,298 JPY ($8.86 USD) per month. It is expected to debut this fall. However, an exact release date for the new streaming service has yet to be announced. 

“The new price point will come into effect at the next payment date after the renewal. Those who wish to unsubscribe or delete their accounts must do so before that date. The first payment date under the new plan will be announced at a later time,” NJPW1972.com reads. 

Returning subscribers will not need to re-register for the new service. Their payments will automatically be increased to the new price. Pay-per-view content previously purchased by users will automatically transfer over to the new service. 

NJPW World’s current app on Amazon Fire TV app will no longer be supported following the debut of the new service, but a new app will be made available for download. Customers being billed through Amazon will have their subscription payments canceled in the coming days.
