HBO Max has confirmed it: its price increase is as real as it is imminent

Till the date, HBO Max was one of the few major platforms that maintained its pricing policy (at least the one without ads, something that only exists in some regions). Well, this has been known to its going to change and, furthermore, it will do so imminently. We tell you what exactly has been communicated.

The company, officially, has indicated that it will proceed to a price increase to access its contents without having to see advertising. And, furthermore, it will not wait for a while for users to think about it, no. HBO Max’s decision is that in the february bill by 2023 the increase is a reality. Of course, for those who have an account outside of USAFor the moment there is good news, because it is in this country where what we are counting has an effect -for the moment, of course-.

This is the rise suffered by HBO Max

While waiting for the merger with Discovery to become a reality, something that is expected to happen this year, but it remains to be seen if it materializes in the indicated times, the amount that the company has decided that it has to increase in your fee is one dollar. That is to say, that in the US you go from paying 14.99 to 15.99 dollars. It doesn’t seem like an outrage, really, but it’s still a follow the trail of what the rest does -which to date had not happened-. Curiously, in the country we are talking about, the ad-supported version remains at $9.99.

At the moment it has not been indicated nothing that affects Spain, but the logical thing to do is to think that the usual cascade effect will happen, and that in a short time in our country you will have to pay 9.99 euros to access the platform. Therefore, and in anticipation that this may be the case, it is not a bad idea to start thinking about whether you want to support this increase, especially if you take into account that the service we are talking about is deleting content in a constant way in recent times (some examples are series like Westworld or Raised By Wolves).

The bad drink of streaming platforms

Well, we are in a moment in which practically none are saved of the existing ones of having to raise prices or create access with ads (something that was not the initial idea of ​​this type of business). But, the costs and time have shown that the model that was followed was not viable and, therefore, it is time to change, but not to reinvent itself, since the decision is an old acquaintance: I raise what you have to pay for the same service , no more no less.
