The platform (codenamed Beam) will operate on Discovery+'s backend, but with a much more improved UI which will merge both Discovery+ and HBO Max elements. Additionally, WBD has registered a WBMax.com domain for the service, as the Max.com domain is already being used by a nutritional supplement products company, according to Variety.

It's nearly official: the new HBO Max platform will be named Max. The clue: the Max.com domain is now in hands of WBD (through domain management firm Markmonitor). The new look streamer will be unveiled, as previously told, next Wednesday.

However, this happens as WBD is under investigation by Democratic Congress lawmakers (led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren) as the "tax write-offs" are being considered as "anticompetitive practices".
