Sony on Wednesday announced that the HBO Max is finally available on its next-generation console. App support, featured in a tweet from the official PlayStation account, should be good news if you managed to get a PS5 and plan to use it as a movie entertainment over games, as the HBO Max was the last big streaming service that was not available in console, but is now there.
If you’re on PS4, this update probably won’t mean much to you, as that device has the app for a while now. But it does mean that any HBO Max in USA on PlayStation 4 and 5 fans should now be able to watch Wonder Woman 1984, which will be available in 4K HDR for PS5 owners with supported TVs and other Warner Bros movies coming out next year on HBO’s new streaming service. (Xbox Series X / S owners have gained access to the app since the launch of the consoles.)
When I went to download the HBO Max to my PS5, he told me that the app was only available on the PS4, but a quick reboot made it available for download. If you want to download it again, you can go to the media tab on the PS5 home screen and scroll down to the All Apps section.

HBOMax is actually not usable on PS4 (video inside)
Technical Support
I exited, cleared my repository, uninstalled, and re-installed HBOMax on my PS4. And I keep getting this bad glitch (video) where I can’t get out of the navigation bar. Cursor / selector repeatedly moves back to the navigation bar.
This issue usually resolves itself with the restart of the PS4, but not now. This is more than annoying. Does anyone know about any fixes?
