One of the biggest changes in the Spanish streaming scene is approaching. A year after announcing it in the United States, HBO Max has finally confirmed that it will also change its name to Max, and its offering, to make itself more attractive compared to alternatives like Netflix.
The move from HBO Max to Max goes beyond a new name and will also affect the content offered through the platform. Basically, Max is the result of merger of HBO Max and Discoveryalso adding sporting events and linear channels (the “usual”) which will also be available via the platform.
This means that Max users will have access to more content and variety than with HBO Max; In addition to the usual series and films, you can also watch Discovery programs and a selection of sporting events, including the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
What happens if we use HBO Max
However, all these changes are accompanied by changes in prices and new subscriptions; and yes that means if we want the best Max experience we will have to pay more than before. However, the good news is that,If we already have HBO Max, we will pay exactly the same.
Until now, HBO Max offered a single subscription of 9.99 dollars per month to access all its content; and this subscription does not disappear. If we already had HBO Max, we will continue to pay the same fees as up to now, and this also applies to the 50% off forever promotion which managed to attract so many users in its time. We really don’t have to do anything to start using Max in conditions very similar to before.
HBO Max moves to Max on May 21
Free Android
In fact, the migration seems very simple for the user. From May 21, when we use the HBO Max application, a message will appear stating that It will ask us to download the new Max application; and in the same way, the current web page will redirect us to the new one. The access data, like the password, are the same and we don’t have to do anything other than log in; All our viewing histories, profiles and lists are automatically transferred to Max.
These are Max’s new projects
SO Max’s basic subscription remains at 9.99 dollars per month, and offers access to the same content, with Full HD quality, 30 offline downloads and playback on up to 2 devices at the same time. In addition, we will have access to the Olympic Games without having to pay more.
The biggest change is that Max confirmed that will start placing ads on your platform. The company confirmed to users that on-demand content may “be sponsored or contain product placement”; To this it should be added that live content may include advertising, in addition to the aforementioned sponsorships and product placement.
In addition to the basic subscription, Max will also offer a Premium subscription at 13.99 dollars per month. The big advantage will be in video and audio quality, since we will have access to 4K resolution and Dolby Atmos; Downloading is also extended to 100 contents and playback on 4 devices at the same time. However, the Premium plan will not prevent us from seeing advertising on live channels and on-demand content.
Finally, the question arises of Sports supplement for an additional 5 dollars per month. This is what we will need to hire to watch live sports events. Max has obtained the rights to some of the most important competitions in various disciplines: in cycling, the Vuelta a España, the Tour de France and the Giro d’Italia, and in tennis, Roland-Garros and the Australian Open. To this we must add competitions like the 24 hours of Le Mans. As we mentioned, the Olympic Games are included in the basic and Premium subscription without additional payment.
