The streaming wars bring a new discounted bundle: Disney+, Hulu and Max

It may make your head spin, but there's yet another video streaming bundle to consider.

Disney+, Hulu and Max launched a bundle deal Thursday, which can save subscribers up to 38% on the price of subscribing to each service individually.

The collaboration between Disney Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery was first announced in May , and is now available to purchase on all of the three streaming services.

There are two versions of the bundle — one with ads for $16.99 per month, or an ad-free version for $29.99 per month. Without the bundle, buying the ad-supported plans for all three services individually would run you $25.97 per month. The ad-free plan total would be $48.97.

New and existing subscribers can purchase the plan.

While Disney has offered a bundle deal with its services Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ since 2019, this is the first bundle offered with a competing streaming service.

In a statement, Disney said the “new partnership puts subscribers first,” highlighting the wide variety of entertainment brands that will be included with the deal — from Family Guy to Game of Thrones .

The bundle is the latest in a flurry of deals that are quickly changing the video streaming landscape.

On Wednesday, the NBA signed an 11-year media rights deal with Disney, NBC and Amazon Prime Video .

In May, Comcast announced a new streaming bundle with Peacock, Netflix and Apple TV+. And earlier this year, ESPN, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery said they planned to launch a sports streaming platform in the fall.

Netflix, which ended its cheapest ad-free plan last week, announced it will not be participating in any bundle deals with competing streaming services.

“We haven’t bundled Netflix solely with other streamers like Disney+ or Max because Netflix already operates as a go-to destination for entertainment thanks to the breadth and variety of our slate and superior product experience,” the company wrote in a letter to shareholders.
