Recently announced its entry into the Asia-Pacific marketWarner Bros. exploring its Max streaming video service, it is now officially open for subscription in markets including Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Hong Kong. The subscription price in the Taiwan market starts at NT$220 per month, or a one-year subscription starts at NT$2190.
However, the Max streaming video service can currently only be subscribed to in Taiwan through local partner channels such as Taiwan Mobile, and is not yet available for direct subscription through the official website.
The Max subscription service currently available in Taiwan includes a standard plan that can be used on two devices simultaneously, supports Full HD resolution, and allows downloading up to 2 videos for offline viewing; and a premium plan that can be used on four devices simultaneously, supports 30K UHD resolution, and can use Dolby Atmos panoramic sound for specific content, and allows downloading up to 4 videos for offline viewing. Both subscription plans support cross-device viewing functions such as mobile phones and TVs.
Users who have previously subscribed to the HBO Go service will automatically be switched to the Max service starting November 11th.
On the other hand, since Hulu service is not available in the Taiwanese market, and Disney+ service is still collaborating with Taiwan Mobile to promote subscription plans, the Max streaming video service launched in the Taiwanese market does not offer a subscription plan that bundles both Disney+ and Hulu.
Currently, the Max service provides HBO, Harry Potter, DC Universe, Cartoon Network, as well as Max original series and Hollywood movies. It also includes program content from Discovery, TLC, AFN, Food Network, ID and HGTV Home Living Channel. However, the actual content provided may vary due to factors such as local authorization.
HBO Original series included on the Max service include the new series "Dune: The Prophecy", the Game of Thrones prequel "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms", "IT: Welcome to Derry", and the upcoming "Harry Potter" series, as well as new seasons of "Dragon Race," "White Lotus Hotel" and "The Last of Us".
