\nNews<\/strong> <\/p>\n

But it probably won\u2019t be the last.<\/p>\n

Warner Bros just announced it\u2019s increasing the price of its ad-free HBO Max<\/a> plan for the first time, effective immediately for new users or on the next billing cycle. And while that\u2019s not good news, it\u2019s only $1 more per month, so the price hike isn\u2019t as bad as we\u2019ve seen from others.<\/p>\n

To be more specific, this is the first price increase for the company\u2019s monthly plan, although we\u2019ve seen variances in other subscriptions in the past. Today, the ad-free monthly HBO Max plan is $15.99 per month, up from the previous $14.99 per month price everyone has paid since it first arrived.<\/p>\n

According to Variety<\/em><\/a>, Warner Bros Discover said, \u201cThis price increase of one dollar will allow us to continue to invest in providing even more culture-defining programming and improving our customer experience for all users.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that the ad-supported plan is still $10 per month, at least for now. Additionally, while this is the first time we\u2019ve seen the company increase pricing, we don\u2019t expect it to be the last. That\u2019s because this is just the latest in a long line of price hikes from every major platform, including\u00a0Disney+<\/a>, Apple TV<\/a>, and more.<\/p>\n

HBO Max is also set to merge with Discovery+<\/a> later this year, and we\u2019re not sure how that\u2019ll shake out. Will it remain $16 per month, or will it cost more due to offering more content? Either way, the price goes up starting today or after February 11th for existing users on their next billing cycle.<\/p>\n

For those who don\u2019t already enjoy HBO Max, sign up today<\/a> and watch the latest\u00a0Game of Thrones: Rings of Power\u00a0<\/em>or the newest season of the hit series\u00a0The White Lotus.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
