AT&T’s brand-new HBO Max streaming service is now live, but if you’re already subscribed to HBO Now, do you get the new Max service for free? That’s what we’re here to help answer. In this guide, you’ll find the answer to “do I get HBO Max with my HBO subscription?” Read on to discover whether or not you will have to pay any extra for HBO Max if you’re already subscribed to HBO Now.
Do I get HBO Max with my HBO subscription?
You should be able to upgrade to the new streaming service for free, but there are some hoops you’ll have to swim through first if it isn’t done automatically. It all depends on how your HBO subscription is set up. Most of you will get HBO Max for free if you’re already subscribed to HBO. Unfortunately, not everyone has been upgraded to the new streaming service at no extra charge. It’s a little confusing. HBO Max is the same price, $14.99 a month, as the other HBO subscriptions. If you find it confusing, try contacting your subscription provider.
