Walt Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery said they will begin offering a combination of their Disney+, Hulu and Max streaming services to customers in the United States this summer.

The new package will be available to customers on all three streaming platforms.

The media giants said they will offer plans with and without ads, but did not reveal how much they plan to charge customers.

The move comes as Disney and Warner Bros. face competition from rivals, including Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.

“This new offering… will help drive stronger subscriber growth and retention,” J.B. Perrett, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, said in a statement.

The two media companies said they would reveal more details about the plans in the coming weeks.

As viewers turn away from traditional television, companies like Disney and Warner Bros. are under pressure to attract more subscribers to their streaming services.

In recent years, they have joined forces and offer bundles of their own streaming services.

In February, Walt Disney Co. ESPN, Fox Corp. and Warner Bros. Discovery announced a new sports streaming platform that will launch in the fall.

In its quarterly financial results released on Tuesday, the company said Disney+ gained more than six million subscribers globally between January and March, excluding India. The streaming service now has more than 117 million subscribers.

The increase is significant for a service that has seen growth in recent months but is seen as important to Disney's future.
