Legacy HBO Max subscribers will soon have to upgrade their plan or say goodbye to 4K streaming.
When HBO Max rebranded as simply Max back in May, Warner Bros. Discovery said that existing subscribers already paying for ad-free streaming could still access certain perks, like 4K streaming, for at least the next six months. Well, that deadline has arrived, and now Max is notifying legacy subscribers that, come December 5, their only option to retain 4K streaming is to upgrade from their $16/month subscription to Max's Ultimate Ad-Free Tier for $20 a month.
