It’s been a little over a year since we started talking about Max, the new streaming platform that replaced HBO Max. It was initially available only in the United States, but gradually spread to other regions. In fact, we were able to try it just a few months ago when it arrived in Latin America in February of this year. Finally, Max arrived in Spain to replace HBO Max.

The platform came to our country with a number of notable changes: now we can access a much more complete catalogIncluding content from Warner Bros., Cartoon Network and DC Universe. And not only that, because there will also be a place for sports events and we will also be able to access the programs of the popular television channel Discovery.

It is necessary to download the new Max application to access the platform

At this point you’re probably wondering what you need to do to get started with Max if you’re already an HBO Max subscriber. One of the advantages of the change is The company took care of everything.– Our user profiles, viewing history and billing information have been moved to Max, so everything should work as usual.

All we have to keep in mind is this Max is a completely standalone applicationso we won’t use it anymore APPLICATION HBO Max to access the platform’s content catalogue. Instead you need to switch apps and install a new one APPLICATION From Max to access the new service. It’s a simple thing though.

To install the new Max app, just go to Play Store and download the new one. APPLICATION free. If you’re already an HBO Max user and you uploaded APPLICATION In principle, you do not need to log in again to HBO Max. If necessary, you can do this using the same email and password you use to access the HBO Max app.

If you weren’t an HBO Max user today but were a old subscriber You can sign up for Max using the platform’s current account (this way you protect your profile information). When you do this, the platform will ask for your payment information so that you can renew your subscription.

When you enter the HBO Max app you have been using so far, you will see a notification about the change. As you can see the previous application no longer allows you to access the content of the platform, so after downloading the new application APPLICATION You can delete HBO Max app from Max without any problem.

These are the subscription plans available on Max.

Max comes to our country with two basic plans and a sports complement that we can add to one of the two basic plans. These are the details of each:

• Standard Plan: Offers access to the entire Max catalog in Full HD quality and allows us to play content on two devices simultaneously. We can also download up to 30 different titles to watch without an internet connection. The standard plan costs 9.99 euros per month or 99.90 euros per year.
• Bonus Plan: This plan will allow us to use Max’s content catalog in 4K UHD and Dolby Atmos quality (subject to availability). This is the most suitable plan if you want to play content in the highest quality and on more devices, as it supports up to four devices simultaneously. The number of books we can download is more than the Standard plan as we can go up to 100. It has a price of 13.99 euros per month or 139.00 euros per year.
• Sports Complementary: This addon offers access to live content from UFC, tennis and more. We can also watch Eurosport 1 and Eurosport 2 channels for 5.00 euros per month.

What if you had Lifetime 50% discount offer?

HBO Max offered a 50% lifetime discount as a welcome offer, which created a lot of interest at the time. If you’ve been a subscriber since the beginning, you might be wondering what’s going to happen with this promotion: Luckily, the company has confirmed that Max will continue its 50% offer to subscribers.

Despite the above, some doubts have been raised about the features and functions users will continue to access on the Max. In particular, it wasn’t entirely clear whether users who took advantage of the 50% discount offer would still be able to access 4K quality content (since the new Standard plan was limited to Full HD quality). The company confirmed the following to us:

“Existing HBO Max customers will be migrated to Max over a period of time, preserving the features and functionality of their current plan. They will be notified in advance if their plan needs to be changed in the future.”

Even so, we must emphasize that the promotion does not allow changes to the subscription, so if you change your plan at any time you will lose the 50% discount.
