Soon, when you go to stream Succession or The Last of Us, you'll no longer be looking for an app called HBO Max. As has been rumored, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is changing the name of the streaming service to simply "Max." The company is folding content from Discovery+ into the platform to make it more of a one-stop shop, though Discovery+ will remain as a standalone service in the US.The big switch will take place on May 23rd in the US — almost exactly three years after HBO Max debuted. WBD previously said it would combine the streaming services sometime this spring. WBD will announce global rollout plans later this year.WBD CEO David Zaslav suggested during a press event that, in the coming months, Max will fold in sports and other live content. The company plans to add an average of more than 40 new titles and TV show seasons each month.For many users, the HBO Max will automatically update to Max on May 23rd. Other folks may be prompted to download the new app manually. The Max app will feature a new video playback experience, more personalization and a default kids profile with parental controls for new subscribers. In addition, WBD claims the app will have more streamlined navigation, including hubs for each brand (HBO, TLC, Discovery and so on).All your data, preferences and account info will migrate over seamlessly to Max, WBD says. The company added that current subscribers will have access to the features of their current plan for at least six months after Max... Continue reading at 'Engadget'
