From [[December 20]], [[2010]], it continued to operate under the name Prizma with a new look and even more content. Mainly from [[RTL Klub]]'s archives, it featured mainly entertainment shows, and later appeared with new series. In [[July]] [[2011]], together with other 6 IKO channels, it became a property of RTL Group in Hungary. From [[January 2014]], content not seen on Prizma was also aired, and at the end of [[February]], it was announced that the channel would be renamed in the spring. It became clear in [[March]] that it would continue to operate under the name '''RTL+''' from [[May 1]], [[2014]]. Its headquarters became [[Luxembourg]] in 2015, and, at the same time, it uses [[Television content rating system|Hungarian rating system]] from NMHH. |

On [[March 1]], [[2016]], the channel received a new, even more colorful image. |
|||
In [[2019]], it broadcasted [[E-sports]] events, starting everyday at 22:00, in its magazine E-mánia, co-produced with the online TV channel, Esport1. |
|||
From [[2020]], it broadcasts a programming block called ''Igazi Krimi'' on the channel, with purchased content and, among these shows, the reality series ''Bűnös lelkek'' originally made for [[RTL Klub]]. |

The channel launched a HD version in [[September]] [[2021]]. |
|||
From the fall of [[2021]] until [[2024]], the channel will be the mediator of the [[UEFA Europa League]] and the brand new [[UEFA Europa Conference League]]. In the first year, after M4 Sport, which broadcasts the meetings of Ferencváros in the EL team group of 32 teams, RTL+ has the right to choose for the second time. (Between [[2015]] and [[2018]], the company acquired the more expensive number one package for [[RTL II (Hungary)|RTL II]], but the Hungarian club did not reach the 48-team field during this period.) It is an innovation in Hungary that some matches only on the paid streaming platform - RTL Most+ - are displayed. |
