You can now watch Disney+ content on Meta Quest headsets
What's the story
Meta has announced that its users in the US can now access Disney+ on their Quest virtual reality (VR) headsets. The move comes after a major revamp of the entertainment experience on Quest, which included the launch of Horizon TV hub. The new platform brings all streaming features into one place and supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos sound.
Enhanced features
Disney+ users can enjoy enhanced viewing experience
The integration of Disney+ into the Horizon TV hub means that users can now enjoy a more immersive viewing experience. Meta has confirmed that a "select" number of titles are available to stream in Dolby Vision 4K HDR, while Disney+ Premium subscribers can access content with Dolby Atmos Sound. This development is part of Meta's ongoing efforts to improve its VR platform's entertainment capabilities.
Content availability
Disney+ boasts a vast catalog of 4K UHD, HDR titles
The Disney+ platform is known for its extensive library of content, including over 100 titles that support 4K UHD and HDR. Some Marvel and Pixar movies even support IMAX's expanded aspect ratio. This wide range of options ensures that Quest users have plenty to choose from when it comes to high-quality viewing experiences on their VR headsets.
App
App now available on latest version of Horizon OS
The Disney+ app is now available on the latest version of Horizon OS, Meta's operating system for its VR headsets. However, the service is currently limited to US-based Quest users. Meta has said that it plans to expand international availability "soon," making this popular streaming platform accessible to a wider audience of VR users around the world.
