HBO Max Price Increase and Password Sharing Changes Begin in January

HBO Max will be raising its prices and cracking down on password sharing starting in January. This news comes as other streaming services are also addressing the issue of account sharing among multiple users.

The new pricing plan will see the ad-supported tier of HBO Max increase from $9.99 to $14.99 per month, while the ad-free tier will be priced at $9.99 for existing subscribers and $14.99 for new subscribers. This change is expected to take effect on December 8th for new subscribers and January 15th for existing subscribers.

In addition to the price increase, HBO Max will also be implementing measures to prevent password sharing. While specific details about how this will be enforced have not been disclosed, it is likely that the streaming service will limit the number of devices that can be logged in to an account at one time.

These updates to HBO Max’s pricing and password sharing policies reflect a broader trend in the streaming industry, as companies seek to protect their revenue streams and ensure that users are paying for the content they are consuming. As streaming services continue to grow in popularity, it is likely that we will see more changes like these in the future.
