HBO Max is one of the most popular streaming services that everyone is talking about. The network has been behind some classic TV series such as Game of Thrones, The Wire, The Sopranos, and many more. So it’s no surprise why it’s one of the most in-demand streaming platforms since its launch in the US.
Speaking of being in-demand, Playstation is the most popular gaming console in the world. If we talk about numbers, Playstation has 106 million units sold as of 2019.
Being so popular, streaming HBO Max on it is the best way to enjoy your favorite movies and TV shows.
However, HBO Max is only available in the US, Latin America, Caribbean, and Europe. It is highly unlikely that the service will be making its way to the UK anytime soon.
So, if you are wondering how to get HBO Max on PS4 in the UK, there is a workaround. With the help of a VPN (a virtual private network), you can access HBO Max in the UK.

Watch HBO Max in the UK via Sky Atlantic
Viewers in the United Kingdom can also watch HBO Max shows and movies via Sky Atlantic. HBO Max is not officially available in the UK because of HBO’s deal with Sky that runs through 2025. However, Sky TV has the right to broadcast HBO shows and movies in the country.
Sky Atlantic has almost 40% of the HBO programming, including shows from other American channels such as Showtime, AMC, and more. So, you can watch HBO Max content on Sky Atlantic as well.
Keep in mind that upcoming shows and movies such as House of the Dragon (2022), King Richard, and more will not be available on Sky immediately after their premier. You will only be able to stream the latest titles after 30 days of their cinema release.
So, if you want to enjoy exclusive shows and movies on HBO Max right after their premier, you can connect to a VPN and access HBO Max on your PS4 in the UK. So now, you don’t have to wait to enjoy your favorite movies and shows online.
