Game of Thrones’ latest season has begun airing around the world. If you’re a Game of Thrones lover, here’s how you can watch the show in India.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Season 8 of Game of Thrones is accessible through Hotstar’s Premium subscription.
- Premium access to Hotstar costs Rs 999 per year or Rs 299 per month.
- Game of Thrones is also available on HBO and Star World networks on television.
Game of Thrones is back on the air, unfortunately for the final time, after a long hiatus. Season 8 of the world’s most popular mystical fiction series has returned and is now available to stream worldwide. Game of Thrones debates and content abound on the internet and social media, and if you’re a fan of the program, you’ve probably already watched the most recent episode.
However, Game of Thrones isn’t available on all devices, and if you’re in India, your options for watching the show are now restricted.
Of course, you may use Torrents to obtain the episodes for free, but this is a major cybercrime that also harms the series’ creators. If you are a die-hard fan of the series and want to watch it at the same time as the rest of the globe, we have compiled a list of ways for you to get your GOT fixed without feeling guilty.
Hotstar
In India, this is perhaps the most popular way to watch Game of Thrones. Hotstar broadcasts Game of Thrones at the same time as the international broadcast. Hotstar is available on all platforms, so you can easily catch up on the latest Game of Thrones episode while on the go. You can watch Game of Thrones on your smartphone, tablet, smart TV, or laptop using Hotstar.
Game of Thrones, however, is not available for free on Hotstar. You must purchase a Premium subscription, which costs Rs 999 per year. The Premium subscription is also available for Rs 299 per month. All other popular English shows, as well as Hollywood films, are available with a Hotstar Premium subscription. The Premium package also gives you access to live sports broadcasts as well as a number of popular Hindi television shows.
If you have access to inexpensive Wi-Fi, Hotstar’s Premium subscription is likely the most cost-effective option to legally catch up on the latest episodes of Game of Thrones in India. Note that for Rs 365, Hotstar also provides a VIP subscription that excludes Game of Thrones and other English series.
HBO
If you have a TV and a working DTH connection, you can simply watch Game of Thrones if you have an HBO membership. HBO can be added to your channel list under TRAI’s DTH regulations if you choose the ‘a la carte’ way of channel selection. The Standard Definition edition of HBO costs Rs 11.80 per month.
HBO HD is available for Rs 17.70 per month if you have an HD set-top box. However, you must consider the Network Capacity Fee as well as the additional taxes for the slots.
Star World
The most recent season of Game of Thrones is also broadcast on Star World. You will, however, only witness the edited version, which is devoid of blood and gore sequences. If you’re satisfied with that, Game of Thrones Season 8 will premiere on April 16.
Star World, Star World HD, and Star World Premiere HD will all carry Game of Thrones. Star World is available for Rs 9.44 per month, Star World HD is available for Rs 10.62 per month, and Star World Premiere HD is available for Rs 10.62 per month. It would also be more cost-effective to choose cluster packs or bouquet packs selected by the operator.
