We study in this paper the following max-type system of difference equations of higher order: xn=max{A,yn-k/xn-1} and yn=max{B,xn-k/yn-1}, n∈{0,1,2,…}, where A≥B>0, k≥1, and the initial conditions x-k,y-k,x-k+1,y-k+1,…,x-1,y-1∈(0,+∞). We show that (1) if AB>1, then every solution of the above system is periodic with period 2 eventually. (2) If AB=1>B, then every solution of the above system is periodic with period 2k or 2 eventually. (3) If A=B=1 or AB<1, then the above system has a solution which is not periodic eventually.
