Many people are wondering “Is Max the same as HBO Max?” following the sudden name change across the app. Here’s the need-to-know info about the HBO service and whether or not Max and HBO Max are the same thing.
Are Max and HBO Max the same thing?
Yes, Max and HBO Max are the same service.
There has simply been a name change to reflect how Max now has more content from other providers. For example, Discovery+ content can now be consumed through Max.
Those who had an active HBO Max subscription will find that they now have an active Max subscription. Nothing had to be done on the user’s end. It’s simply a change of name and the addition of some new content.
Though HBO made an effort to make everyone aware of the name change ahead of time, it’s understandable that some people were caught out of the loop. Now that the change has happened, people are confused and searching for answers. Thankfully, it’s a simple answer, as Max and HBO Max are the same, only with a different name.
While HBO is still very much a thing, as it’s a successful television network that is continuing to roll out new content each month, it is now one of many other distributors that are to appear on the “Max” platform.
To help show that Max isn’t just for HBO content, the name was changed. While this might be confusing at first, subscribers will likely get used to it quickly. In a year or two, users will probably be so used to seeing “Max” in all marketing materials and on the service itself, that they will forget about “HBO Max.”
