In just one month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Max will be home to HBO original content, Warner Bros. movies, Max originals, the DC Universe, the Harry Potter Universe, a wide range of kids&#8217; content and programming from channels such as HGTV, Food Network, Discovery Channel, TLC, ID and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Max aims to conquer the market by combining a wide variety of content along with iconic franchises and solid product expertise\u2026 all at a new, much higher price point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In Europe this service will not arrive until 2024<\/strong>, so all of you who have the year of HBO Max paid for can rest assured.

While <a href=\"https:\/\/netflix.en.softonic.com\/?ex=DINS-635.2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Netflix<\/a> was the first and therefore took all the public&#8217;s criticism, the rest of the companies had been giving clues in recent years that charging 5 euros for a subscription was not profitable for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Warner Bros. Discovery has announced that with the arrival of <strong>Max, the streaming service will have three subscription rates<\/strong>. From the cheapest to the most expensive. The price is in dollars and we will have to see how it converts to euros when it arrives in Europe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Max Ad Lite | $9.99\/month or $99.99\/year<\/strong>: 2 simultaneous streams, 1,080p resolution, no offline downloads, 5.1 surround sound quality.<\/li><li><strong>Max Ad Free | $15.99\/month or $149.99\/year<\/strong>: 2 simultaneous streams, 1,080p resolution, 30 offline downloads, 5.1 surround sound quality.<\/li><li><strong>Max Ultimate Ad Free | $19.99\/month or $199.99\/year<\/strong>: 4 simultaneous streams, up to 4K UHD resolution, 100 offline downloads, Dolby Atmos sound quality.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, HBO Max only offers a monthly and an annual subscription. <strong>The first is \u20ac8.99 per month and the second is \u20ac69.99 per year (\u20ac5.83 per month)<\/strong>. This gives access to several accounts at once and to watch series in 1080p and movies in 4K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This adjusted price, with the good content of HBO Max and the broadcast quality of the platform (except for some complaints with Game of Thrones and its chapters with low brightness) has achieved that the platform now has about 100 million users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They say in the press release that <strong>existing HBO Max subscribers will have access to Max at the same price as their HBO Max subscription and can visit<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/help.hbomax.com\/introducingMax\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">this website<\/a> for more information.
