Sky customers in the UK are in for a treat with the launch of HBO Max as part of their subscription. The service, known for its vast collection of popular HBO dramas and Warner Bros. films, is now available to Sky Ultimate TV package holders at no extra cost. This move offers significant savings, allowing viewers to enjoy shows like Game of Thrones, Friends, and new Max Originals without the usual monthly fee of £4.99.
According to Sky, customers with Sky Ultimate TV on Sky Glass or Sky Stream, or Sky Signature/Sky Entertainment on Sky Q, can access HBO Max Basic with Ads as part of their package. To start streaming, users simply need to launch the HBO Max app from the homepage and follow the on-screen instructions.
Sophia Ahmad, Sky’s Chief Consumer Officer, emphasized the integration of Sky, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and Hayu in a single subscription, providing a unique entertainment experience. NOW Entertainment customers will also benefit from HBO Max integrated into the NOW app at no extra charge.
For those not subscribed to Sky, HBO Max offers Standard with Ads plans starting at £5.99, accessible directly on their website. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for Sky and NOW, offering a diverse range of entertainment options in a seamless, unified experience for subscribers.
