HBO Max gets a rebrand with Warner Bros. Discovery’s ‘Max’ set to arrive next month with new and familiar content.
Warner Bros. Discovery hasn’t been shy about sharing its plans to combine HBO Max and Discovery+ into one streaming service, even pushing up the release date of its project as things moved ahead of schedule. Today, the company has finally announced that ‘Max’ will launch on May 23 in the United States, bringing all your favorite content from both platforms, while also sharing details about its new plans for the service.
When the service goes live in May, there will be three different tiers available: Max Ad-Lite, Mad Ad Free, and Max Ultimate Ad Free. The pricing for plans is as follows:
For the most part, the first two tiers closely resemble the plans offered now by HBO Max, with the Max Ad-Lite featuring ads and limitations like no offline downloads. While the Max Ad Free plan has no ads and offers access to 30 offline downloads. The addition of Max Ultimate Ad Free looks to bring the most top-tier experience possible, by not only upping the offline download quantity but also offering 4K streaming resolution and support for Dolby Atmos.
