FAQ: Watch Max with
a VPN
Max is the name of the newly merged streaming service from HBO Max and Discovery Plus. The new streaming service will be home to HBO movies and series that you’re already familiar with, alongside Discovery content, creating the largest streaming library of any platform with 15,000+ titles.
Here’s everything you need to know about Max, including its availability and pricing.
Well, kind of. Max is a mix of HBO Max and Discovery Plus; it carries all of HBO Max’s content while also incorporating titles from Discovery, HGTV, TLC, and more.
Max is a direct replacement for HBO Max, but Discovery Plus will also continue to operate as a standalone service with Discovery-only content and the same (lower) subscription fees.
If you sign up for HBO with a pay-TV provider, you may get access to Max for free.
Max will have the HBO Max movies and series that you’re already familiar with. That means all your favorite HBO, DC, Harry Potter, and Cartoon Network titles will be available. Discovery Plus’ content will also be available in Max’s catalog, including many popular reality TV series.
Max aims to be a more robust standalone service by offering content from both HBO Max and Discovery. By dropping the HBO name and including more family-oriented and reality content, Max hopes to appeal to audiences of all ages.
Max launched on May 23, 2023, in the U.S. and will gradually roll out to the rest of the world over the next year. It is expected to be available globally by end-2024.
Here’s when to expect the launch of Max in your region:
-
United States: May 23, 2023
-
Latin America: 2023
-
Europe: 2024
-
Asia: 2024
No, you will need to subscribe to Max to stream on the service. Prices start at 10 USD / month; no free trial is available. If you’ve subscribed to HBO via a pay-TV provider, you may have access to Max for free.
