Yes. With the launch of Max, HBO Max has been folded into the new service.

Max is the new streaming service from Warner Bros. Discovery. It replaces HBO Max and incorporates some content from Discovery Plus to stand alone as a more robust subscription service.

Effectively just a rebranded HBO Max, the service offers on-demand access to a vast library of TV shows and movies. This includes Max.com/providers originals, titles from the Warner Bros. archive, HBO, Discovery, CNN, the CW, licensed TV shows and movies, and more.

Is Max the same as HBO Max?

While Max is mostly a repackaged version of HBO Max, there are a few differences. The library is a bit bigger, incorporating Discovery Plus content. HBO Max originals have now become Max originals, with new Max originals rolling out too.

What has happened to HBO Max?

All existing HBO Max subscribers can automatically get onto the new platform. As of May, the HBO Max app either automatically updates to Max or prompts you to download the Max app. Either way, if you had an HBO Max subscription, you are now a Max member at no extra cost.

If you get HBO as part of your cable or satellite TV package, you may get Max access at no additional cost. You can find out if your TV provider supports Max.

If you aren’t an HBO Max subscriber, you can now sign-up for the new service.
