In anticipation of the "House of the Dragon" premiere on August 21, HBO Max finally released 4K high dynamic range (HDR) versions of "Game of Thrones" on August 1. However, the 4K versions of each episode are only available to subscribers of HBO Max's ad-free plan. The 4K episodes offer improved detail, contrast, and color, making the already beautiful series look even more spectacular when viewing it on a 4K TV with HDR capabilities. The show also features Dolby Atmos surround sound when watched with compatible audio gear. Buyers who prefer a physical copy of the series can also purchase "Game of Thrones" on 4K Blu-ray with HDR and Dolby Atmos sound.
