Revisiting the battles and betrayals of Westeros comes down to an assessment of viewing habits and budget. If your goal is a single comprehensive rewatch, paying for a single month of the ad-supported or standard ad-free Max plan remains the most cost-effective solution; finish the series, then cancel before the renewal date. Those sensitive to compression artifacts who plan to revisit the series over multiple years will extract far better long-term value from the physical 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray box set, avoiding subscription price creep entirely.
