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.

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'
