There hasn’t been much news lately concerning Max, the mega-streamer formed through the merger of the HBO Max and Discovery Plus streaming services, aside from an announcement that it would finally be launching outside the US (though not in the UK or Australia). But there is another recent Max update that flew under the radar: the addition of Dolby Vision HDR to B/R Sports, a Max add-on tier featuring live NBA basketball, NHL hockey, MLB baseball, US soccer, and more.
We selected Max as the best streaming service of the year in the TechRadar Choice Awards 2023 owing to its wide selection of movies, original series, and traditional TV content. B/R Sports is one of Max’s most recent offerings, debuting in October 2023. And while many movies and original Max shows such as The Last of Us and True Detective: Night Country are available in Dolby Vision with Dolby Atmos sound, it was only in mid-February 2024 that Dolby Vision was added to B/R Sports.
