HBO Max Is Creating A Whole New Way To Watch Game Of
Thrones
By MELISSA LEMIEUX
With the approach of the “Game of Thrones” prequel “House of the Dragon,” fans might be looking for a way to rewatch the former in binge or episodic format. Fortunately, the program is up in its entirety on HBO Max for viewing — and soon enough, they'll get to see the show in a way they've never gotten to before.
HBO Max will make "Game of Thrones" available in 4K Ultra HD sometime in August; it will also boast HDR 10, with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. The service has not announced a specific date for the show's re-release, but "House of the Dragon" will be released with these specs on August 21 when it debuts.
Fans who want to see the show in 4K Ultra HD will have to pay an extra five dollars for the privilege, as the series will only be available in this format for ad-free tier subscribers. Proper equipment and internet speed will also be needed, but for those who can't wait, "Game of Thrones" is currently available on 4k UHD DVDs and for purchase digitally through VUDU.
