There’s no limit on the number of devices you can register under one subscription with HBO Max and users will be able to personalise their accounts with up to five viewer profiles, allowing friends and family to watch three streams simultaneously.
The service also includes support for 5.1 surround sound, Dolby Atmos and select titles in 4K.
