What’s new with HBO’s Max?
TBH, nothing much changed after HBO Max now became Max. On May 23, Max finally arrived on the streaming platform scene. But what’s exciting to expect with Max?

But if you have other questions about Max, pretty sure we got them here for you.
Aside from the new additions to the streaming list, your HBO Max’s settings and watch history would not be changed. Existing users can still use their HBO Max accounts and log in with the same credentials. It just happens that it already evolve to its new form, Max, but your streaming wouldn’t be too different.
Will the prices and subscriptions change?
