Astro Offers Exclusive Streaming Deals and HEROES Pop-Up Channel
Astro, Malaysia’s leading content and entertainment provider, is taking steps to enhance home entertainment for its customers by offering more variety and easier access to popular streaming platforms. The company is expanding its content ecosystem and providing seamless integration of 14 streaming apps on a single platform. This move reflects Astro’s commitment to offering a comprehensive and convenient entertainment experience, with exclusive promotions, special offers, and the return of a much-loved pop-up channel.
Astro’s customers will now have access to even more content options, including popular streaming platforms like Max and Prime Video. As part of this initiative, Astro is offering a 12-month subscription deal to Max, a streaming platform with a variety of popular titles. Starting at just RM16.96 per month, this offer is available to both new and existing Astro customers, with two subscription plans to choose from: Max Standard and Max Ultimate. The Max Standard plan is priced at RM16.96 per month, while the Max Ultimate plan costs RM25.95 per month. Customers can add Max to their existing subscription and enjoy content on their Astro Ultra or Ulti Box or directly through the Max app.
The offer is available until 30 June 2025, and the subscription will automatically renew each year at the promotional prices, unless canceled by the customer. It’s important to note that canceling the subscription before the renewal period will incur an early termination fee, equivalent to two months of Max subscription at the regular price. Titles available on Max include popular movies and series such as “Wicked,” “Mickey 17,” “Just Like That (Season 3),” and “Gladiator II.”
In addition to the Max subscription offer, Astro is enhancing its offerings by integrating Prime Video into its Astro Movies Bundle Packs and the Astro One Epic Pack. Starting immediately, customers who have the Ultra/Ulti Box as part of their subscription can access Prime Video at no extra cost. Customers without the Ultra/Ulti Box will have access to Prime Video starting from 24 June 2025. For those who are not subscribed to these packs, Prime Video is available as an add-on for RM25 per month.
Prime Video offers a wide range of content, including popular Hollywood films like “Another Simple Favor” and “The Accountant 2,” as well as gripping Korean dramas such as “Head Over Heels” and “Good Boy.” The platform also features well-loved Indian titles, including “The Traitors (Season 1),” and Indonesian series like “Sabtu Bersama Bapak.” With these additions, Astro is making it easier for its customers to enjoy a variety of international and local content without needing to switch between different streaming platforms.
Astro is also reintroducing the HEROES pop-up channel, which was a favorite among Malaysian viewers. The HEROES channel (CH 100) will be available from 16 June 2025 at 11:30 AM and will run for one month. It is accessible to all Astro customers at no additional cost. The HEROES channel will feature more than 100 titles and over 300 hours of content across multiple languages, including English, Malay, and Korean. Viewers can enjoy a variety of action and family entertainment, such as Disney+ Hotstar’s “First Responder,” as well as blockbusters like “The Revenant,” “X-Men,” “Captain America: The First Avenger,” and animated favorites such as “The Lion King,” “Zootopia,” and “Moana.”
Through these initiatives, Astro continues to enrich its content offerings and provide its customers with an all-in-one entertainment experience. The company has made it easy for customers to customize their subscription plans with additional add-ons like Max, Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar, and several other streaming platforms. Subscribers can manage their packs and make changes via the My Astro app at any time, ensuring a flexible and personalized entertainment experience.
Astro’s commitment to delivering value and convenience is evident in its diverse offerings and the flexibility it provides its customers in managing their subscriptions. The company is offering the Astro One Packs starting from RM49.99 per month, with the option to add Astro Fibre’s 500Mbps service and the Entertainment Pack for RM139.99 per month. These packages allow customers to access high-speed internet and a wide range of entertainment content, further enhancing their home entertainment experience.
