has arrived in Spain HBO Max price hike that the service announced at the beginning of the year in the United States, taking advantage of the premiere of its latest great success, The Last of Us. The new price is already the default for new users and will begin to apply to the bulk of subscribers from July.
But don’t be scared, because the price of HBO Max in Spain is not the same as in the United States, although the catalog offered by the platform is not the same either. The increase in the case at hand is one euro, so the monthly payment from 8.99 to 9.99 euros. On the other hand, the price of the annual subscription remains unchanged at 69.99 euros per year.
And what if you are one of those who took advantage of the “50% forever discount” introductory offer? The doubt has taken little time to spread through social networks, and it is that all subscribers to the service have received the same email message announcing the upload, but without specifying this point. The official accounts of HBO Max have come out to clarify it.

Relax. As you see, you will continue to enjoy the 50% discount, which does not mean that you are going to pay the same: the price goes up for everyone and it also goes up for you, but to a lesser extent. Respecting the discount, wow, so from now on you will go from paying 4.49 to 4.99 euros. Fifty cents more; that is, half of what goes up to the rest of the subscribers of the service.
Now, get ready for the nearest future if you’re an HBO Max subscriber, because this isn’t going to be the last change, or the last price hike for the service any time soon. As we have collected in more than one piece of information, the merger of HBO Max with Discovery+ is underway and yes, they will raise the price again, but Not only that: The limitations will also increase, a bit in the style of Netflix.
The new Max will arrive in Spain in 2024 and regardless of the changes it brings, it will once again raise the question for those who enjoy the discount of yore today: will they respect it to try to keep as many current subscribers as possible, even if an increase is applied to them? of the monthly payment according to the new rates, or will they make a clean slate? We will have to wait to see it.
