Overview

  • Warner Bros. Discovery has launched the Extra Member Add-On feature for Max, pricing it at $7.99 per month for U.S. subscribers.
  • The feature enables account holders to invite one person outside their household to create a standalone account under the same subscription.
  • Extra members receive individual login credentials, can stream on one device at a time, and retain access to the primary account's base plan benefits.
  • A Profile Transfer option allows extra members to migrate their watch history, recommendations, and settings to the new account seamlessly.
  • This move aligns Max with Netflix and Disney+, which implemented similar account-sharing restrictions to boost revenue and profitability.
