With season two of The Last of Us now airing (episode two just hit the screens), there's no better time to dive into a Max subscription. If you've been holding out for the perfect moment to explore its extensive library, the time is now, especially with Max rolling out a limited-time offer on its yearly plans. These plans are divided into three tiers: Basic With Ads, Standard, and Premium. Normally priced at $99.99/year, $169.99/year, and $209.99/year respectively, they're currently discounted to $79.99/year, $139.99/year, and $169.99/year.

This special discount applies to the first year of your subscription, after which the prices will return to normal. The offer is only available until May 7, so act quickly to secure a discounted yearly plan.
