Last year, Netflix brought a shuffle play button for when you don’t know what to watch next. Now, HBO Max has followed the trend, and it’s now offering a similar feature but for a limited number of shows.
This shuffle button has been one of HBO Max’s most-requested features, and it’s now available to all desktop users. Weirdly, only 45 shows are available within this new feature, which means not all the streaming service catalogs will be discoverable when you’re trying to find what to watch next.
Apple TV+, on the other hand, recently added a new “Up Next” option, which shows details of the movie or series the user is watching when you pause or swipe up using the Siri Remote. With the update, the “Up Next” queue can also be viewed from the “Now Playing” screen. Unfortunately, it’s not clear whether Apple will ever add a feature similar to HBO’s.
Here are the 45 shows available with the Shuffle Play button on HBO Max:
