How To Get Hbo Max On Amazon Fire Stick

This is a step-by-step guide on how to install HBO Max on FireStick, Fire TV, Fire TV Cube, and Android TV.

On 16th November 2020, Amazon announced that it has added HBO Max back to their Amazon Store. Now, you don't need to sideload the HBO Max app onto your FireStick.

HBO Max is a streaming platform that bundles up all of the HBO originals along with your favorite Movies and TV Shows outside of HBO. On HBO Max, now you can watch the most-awaited 'The Friends Reunion'.

We've discussed two methods to install HBO Max. The first method is through downloading HBO Max APK and the second method involves Amazon App Store.

Like other HBO streaming services such as HBO Go and HBO Now, HBO Max is also available in the US. To access HBO Max from outside of the US, you will be needing a VPN. ExpressVPN is our #1 choice.

ExpressVPN is the fastest VPN and yet it is also the most secure VPN today. It keeps your IP address protected online at all times and keeps your identity anonymous. You can use servers like Detroit, Latham, and Bend to connect HBO Max from outside the US.

How HBO Max is Different from HBO GO and HBO Now?

The new streaming service HBO Max serves as a deluxe version of HBO's older streaming services such as HBO Now and HBO Go.

But what really makes a difference is just content selection and device support. HBO Max is now currently positioned to replace both HBO Go and HBO Now.

HBO Go is no longer available since it was officially replaced by HBO Now on July 31st. Currently, HBO Now is being branded as HBO Max.

HBO Max is a standalone streaming service that offers tons of other content from different production houses like Warner Bros, DC Comis, CNN, TNT, TBS, and Cartoon Network. It costs about $14.99/month.

However, HBO Go and HBO Now offer only HBO Originals and nothing outside of it. That being said, existing HBO Now and HBO users can also access HBO Max at no additional cost.
