The service formerly known as HBO Max and now simply Max is the latest streaming service to put the squeeze on its subscribers. Owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, the service sent out an email to existing subscribers to its $15.99 per month ad-free tier that, effective on their next billing date, they’ll either have to upgrade to a more expensive tier or lose a few streaming features, including access to 4K resolution content.Up until the change, legacy subscribers to the $15.99 per month plan were able to enjoy 4K HDR streaming with Dolby Atmos on select titles, along with the ability to stream content on up to three devices at once. Going forward, however, those same subscribers will lose access to 4K HDR content and Dolby Atmos support. Additionally, the tier has been updated to restrict simultaneous streaming to two devices instead of three.
