Earlier this month, Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery announced plans to bring Disney+, Hulu, and Max together as a bundle. Now, three of the other major streamers–Netflix, Apple TV+, and Peacock–are getting a mega bundle of their own in partnership with Comcast.
Via Variety, Comcast is set to offer this super streamer bundle to its subscribers “at a vastly reduced price to anything in the market today,” according to Comcast chief Brian Roberts. Roberts also revealed that the name of the bundle will be StreamSaver. Although Roberts did not disclose a price for the package, it will still beat the Disney+, Hulu, and Max bundle to the market by debuting later this month.
“We’ve been bundling video successfully and creatively for 60 years, and so this is the latest iteration of that,” added Roberts. “I think this will be a pretty compelling package.”
Bringing those three services together only reinforces the idea that the streamers are slowly recreating cable, especially after all of the primary players except Apple TV+ introduced ad-supported plans. This new alliance also leaves Prime Video and Paramount+ without any other natural partners for a bundle except each other. Paramount+ and Max are both available on Prime Video through standard subscription fees, and they are not offered at a discount.
This news also comes on the heels of Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Fox’s plans to create a combined sports streaming service that will bring together the rights for the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and more. That streaming service doesn’t currently have a name or a price plan, but it’s expected to launch later this year.
