Max’s Priciest Plan Will Have 1,000-Plus Movies and Episodes in 4K Ultra HD
With HBO Max turning into Max, Warner Bros. Discovery is introducing a higher-priced plan $19.99 per month with an expanded bouquet of 4K Ultra HD content aimed at pushing customers to the pricier package.
On Monday, the company announced that the 4K tier will feature more than 1,000 films and episodes in 4K UHD, an increase of nearly eightfold over what has been available in HBO Max.
The 4K UHD content on Max will include Game of Thrones, The House of the Dragon, The Last of Us, the Harry Potter films, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Dark Knight trilogy, the Matrix films and more. Additionally, all Warner Bros. movies released this year and going forward will be available in 4K UHD when they arrive on Max following their theatrical windows.
Maxs new Ultimate Ad-Free tier also will offer four concurrent streams, up to 100 offline downloads and Dolby Atmos and Vision will be available for select content and devices.
HBO Max has offered some 4K content to subscribers on the $15.99/month tier, but it seems that eventually those subscribers will need to upgrade to continue getting access to 4K movies and shows. The company said existing HBO Max subscribers will still have access to their current plan features (including 4K content) for at least six months following the launch of Max.
We understand the value of offering our users a cinematic playback experience and to that end, weve implemented more advanced technology workflows that allow us to release more 4K content in a faster, more efficient way, said Sudheer Sirivara, EVP of global technology platform at Warner Bros. Discovery. Max will offer more than 1,000 films and episodes in 4K at launch, and well be adding more every month as we move forward.
Maxs 4K streaming content will be supported on devices including: Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K and Fire TV Cube; Android TVs, Apple TV 4K, Google Chromecast Ultra and Chromecast with Google TV, 4K LG Smart TVs, PlayStation 5, Roku Ultra 4800x, Roku 4k TVs, Roku Premiere, and Roku Streaming Stick+, 4K Samsung TVs, Vizio 4K Smart TVs, Comcasts Xfinity X1 (Xi6), Flex and XClass TV.
