\"HBO<\/a><\/p>\n

Ever since the launch of HBO Max<\/strong>, one question has come up again and again: when will the app<\/a> be available on Roku? Well, folks, HBO Max has heard your question, and they\u2019ve decided to, uh\u2026ignore it. Instead, WernerMedia<\/a> and Comcast have announced today that the HBO Max app is launching on\u00a0Xfinity X1\u00a0and\u00a0Xfinity\u00a0Flex. And before you ask, no, HBO Max is still not on\u00a0PlayStation 5 despite being on PlayStation 4, either.<\/p>\n

HBO Max already has a lot of great content to offer, and in the wake of the recent announcement that Warner Bros. is sending all of their 2021 theatrical titles right to the streaming service, it\u2019s about to get even better. And yet\u2026HBO Max has not had the smoothest of launches. For one thing, people are still confused as to what the hell HBO Max even is and how they access it. And then there\u2019s the fact that the app is still not available on Roku, the most popular streaming device in the U.S.
\nAs previously reported, HBO Max and Roku remain \u201cin talks,\u201d but \u201d\u00a0both sides have signaled that they are unwilling to budge on their positions: Roku wants to keep HBO\/HBO Max as a channel it can sell directly to its own customers, while WarnerMedia is insisting that HBO Max be available as a standalone app.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Warner Bros. made their big announcement about dropping their 2021 slate directly onto the service, I thought it would only be a matter of time before an announcement was made that HBO Max was\u00a0finally<\/em> on Roku. After all,\u00a0Wonder Woman 1984<\/em> will be on HBO Max in time for Christmas \u2013 surely the problem would be settled by then, right?<\/p>\n

Well, no. It really looks as if HBO Max and Roku remain in a stalemate. In the meantime, WarnerMedia and Comcast are rolling out HBO Max on\u00a0Xfinity X1\u00a0and\u00a0Xfinity\u00a0Flex.\u00a0X1 and Flex customers will be able to access the HBO Max app over the Internet by saying \u201cHBO Max\u201d into the Xfinity Voice Remote or by saying the name of the desired title they\u2019re looking for (just for fun, try saying \u201cRoku?\u201d into the Voice Remote to see what happens; maybe HBO Max will tell you to get lost). Xfinity customers will also be able to \u201cfind the HBO Max app content library integrated throughout the X1 and Flex experience.<\/p>\n

This move is meant to overlap with the\u00a0Wonder Woman 1984<\/em>\u00a0Christmas Day release on HBO Max (it\u2019s also hitting theaters on that day, but come on, we all know you\u2019ll be watching it at home).\u00a0Wonder Woman 1984<\/em>\u00a0will be available in 4K Ultra HD, HDR 10,\u00a0Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos\u00a0to Xfinity customers on supported X1 and Flex devices.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince launching HBO Max, our teams have worked closely to deliver an HBO Max experience that would provide more frictionless access to Xfinity X1 and Flex customers, and we\u2019re thrilled to debut the app today,\u201d said\u00a0Jennifer Mirgorod<\/strong>, Head of Sales and Account Management, WarnerMedia Distribution. \u201cMillions of Xfinity customers can now easily explore all that HBO Max has to offer with a simple voice command.\u201d
\nIn addition to a lack of Roku app, it looks like HBO Max is also still unavailable on the\u00a0PlayStation 5 despite being on PlayStation 4, which is odd since the PlayStation 5 is this holiday season\u2019s hottest item (if you can actually find a place to buy it, that is). I\u2019m sure HBO Max will get this all sorted out eventually. For now, though, they seem to hold all the cards, since they hold all the content.<\/p>\n
