Seeing as HBO Max is one of the most popular platforms today, HBO Max offers native apps for almost all currently popular devices and platforms. And of course, it supports Xfinity and Cox devices. It's really easy to install a native app device nowadays and watch the comprehensive library filled with box office movies and awesome series that HBO Max has. That said, let's see how to sign up, download, and install HBO Max on Xfinity X1 and Flex devices in a few simple steps.

Which Xfinity Devices Are Supported by HBO Max?

As per the documentation listed on the streaming service's website, HBO Max has native apps for Xfinity X1 and Xfinity Flex. There's no word on other Xfinity devices, so you will only find HBO Max on the ones mentioned before.
