HBO Go will upgrade to HBO Max in 39 markets by June 2020; more to follow later

HBO Max is an upcoming streaming solution from the Warner Media conglomerate, which means it stands ready to offer shows such as the upcoming Game of Thrones prequel House of Dragons as well as those from DC, adult swim, Cartoon Network and Looney Tunes Cartoons to name a few. It will be first seen in the Latin and South American regions, as well as in many Caribbean countries, by the end of June 2021.

Existing subscibers to the current HBO Go streaming platform in these markets will have their service shifted to HBO Max in this time-frame. This will also apparently be realized for HBO Go customers in European countries for which it operates, which include Romania, Spain, Portugal and Scandinavia; however, the exact date of this change remains unknown.

HBO Go is also available in Canada, although there is currently no word on when or if this transition to the new Max product will take effect there. On this note, it is a shame that neither Go nor Max is available as a stand-alone streaming option in more markets by default. Currently, the only way to access HBO content for some is via old-fashioned cable or satellite services, which are also often expensive and wasteful to boot.
