HBO goes Max and updates prices: how much will you pay now?

This day came. The HBO streaming service has been renamed Max.. And no, you as a user don’t just have to learn a new name or remember a new app icon. This change brings surprises and news that may surprise many. Although HBO price is the same as the maximum price.there is news about the plans and the benefits they offer.

The first question is clear: will the price change? No, Max still costs 9.99 euros per month. A new plan is now included and costs 13.99 euros per month including 4K UHD playback, 4-device simultaneous playback, Dolby Atmos, and 100 offline content downloads.

What about the main plan? Well, Max for standard users, option for 9.99 euros per month, includes content in 1080p FullHD, 2 devices simultaneously and 30 offline downloads. That is, the price of HBO remains the same, but the benefits vary between plans.

Additionally, Max’s new, more diverse offering includes the ability to hire sports plan, which will cost an additional 5 euros and which will include, among other things, the broadcast of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris at the end of July.

What if I pay annual plan? Here’s some bad news for you. The annual cap prices aren’t as attractive as HBO’s.. The Standard option now costs €99.99 and Premium costs €139.99, billed every 12 months. That’s why, If you were paying €69.99 per year, you will now pay €99.99. when it’s your turn to renew.

Of course, if you are one of the users who purchased 50% discount in 2021you can keep that HBO price on Max as long as you meet the cancellation terms.

It’s not just the price of HBO that’s changing

However, Price is not the only thing that changes with the arrival of Max. On Tuesday, May 21, the service will be integrated into the Max.com domain when accessed from the Internet, and applications will be updated on all systems. Initially, all changes should be made automatically, so you don’t have to do anything. Even if you go to hboxmax.com, you will be redirected to a new address..

And although the platform looks completely different, everything will be the same. Max will support your profiles, logins, episode recommendations, and content development. Actually, even the payment details will be identical so the payment does not need to be updated.

All information will be automatically transferred from HBO to Max., so you only have to worry about the new prices, the benefits of the Premium Plans and the Sports Pack. The change, although drastic, does not force you to make any moves or readjust anything.
