Max will launch in the Philippines: Subscription plans, pricing and everything we know about it

HBO Go will turn a new leaf next month by going Max on November 19.

All existing HBO Go subscriptions will automatically become Max subscriptions and users will be directed to the new streaming site.

Home to brands like HBO, Harry Potter, Cartoon Network and DC Universe, Max will also offer programming from Discovery, TLC, AFN, Food Network, ID and HGTV.

Three plans are offered, with subscriptions available on the App Store and Google Play:

• Mobile (1 month plan at P149 and annual plan at P1040) will allow you to stream to 1 mobile device with standard HD video resolution. It offers a maximum of 15 downloads, so you can watch it on the go and as the name suggests, you can only watch it on mobile and tabletop.
• Standard package (One month plan at P269 and annual plan at P1,890) will allow you to stream on 2 devices at once with Full HD video resolution. It allows 30 downloads so you can watch on the go, and you can watch MAX from more devices, including TVs.
• Ultimate plan (1 month at P399 and yearly at P2,790) will let you stream to 4 devices at once with 4k UHD and Dolby Atmos where available. You can make up to 100 downloads so you can watch on the go, and you can watch on more devices, including TVs.

Subscribers can access Max on mobile and can create up to five unique profiles that they can personalize.

In addition to localization (hello subtitles!) Max prides itself on more intuitive navigation. Subscribers can save their favorite content to My Stuff, upload content and enable child-friendly viewing.

Upon arrival on November 19, Max will introduce “Dune Prophecy” from the Dune Expanded Universe.

Meanwhile, DC Studios’ first content, “Creature Commandos,” will premiere on the platform on December 5.

“Game of Thrones” and “House of the Dragon” will be available on Max, under the name “Friends”, “The White Lotus”, “The Penguin” and others to name a few.

Max’s arrival in the Philippines was first announced earlier this month. According to the announcement, Max will also launch in six other Southeast Asian countries, such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
