HBO Max now offers potential new subscribers in the U.S. the opportunity to watch select episodes of some of the platform's most popular programming in-app before they sign up. The in-app offering is an extension of the long-standing sampling opportunities available via HBOMax.com and more recently, through Snapchat's HBO Max Snap Mini, which allows Snapchatters to watch free episodes of HBO Max programming virtually alongside their friends within the Snapchat app.

With the launch of this new feature, viewers will now have the chance to take a sneak peek at the platform's catalog of iconic and best-in-class programming prior to committing to a subscription, with the flexibility to watch a hand-picked selection of episodes in-app on their favorite supported device. The free experience will initially include 13 episodes of HBO and Max Originals, with new titles being rotated in and out of the collection periodically. The free offering will roll out today across all current HBO Max device partners.

Pilot episodes (Season 1, Episode 1) available in the collection at launch include:

· Batwoman

· Euphoria

· Game of Thrones

· Harley Quinn

· Lovecraft Country

· Love Life

· Perry Mason

· Raised By Wolves

· The Flight Attendant

· Titans

· Veneno

· Warrior

And

· Doom Patrol - Season 2, Episode 1

This latest product feature also allows users to browse the entire HBO Max catalog of programming across the service in-app, and offers straightforward distinctions around which episodes can be viewed without a subscription and which ones are available after signing up.

With the recent launch of the advertising-supported subscription tier, HBO Max now provides consumers the flexibility to choose between the ad-free subscription option at $14.99 per month, or one with ads for $9.99 per month. For even further savings, HBO Max is now offering subscribers the option to pre-pay and save more than 15% by signing up for the ad-supported tier of HBO Max for $99.99/year or without ads for $149.99/year.
