After months of waiting, Disney+ is here, bringing with it all of the Star Wars, Marvel Cinematic Universe and Disney Channel content you could ever want. But can you actually watch it? Without a device that supports Disney+, you won’t be able to enjoyThe Mandalorian,Avengers: Endgame(andthe rest of the MCU, give or take a few titles), or any of the other600-plus shows and moviesin Disney+’s huge library.
Well, we have good news: If you have a device that can stream content from Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime Video, you’ll probably be able to use Disney+ too. Just like Disney itself, Disney+ is everywhere.
All devices that support Disney+
The Disney+ app can be found on all major streaming boxes, mobile devices, and most game consoles, and can be accessed via all modern web browsers.
You can watch Disney+ on:
Really, the only big piece of hardware that can’t watch Disney+ is the Nintendo Switch — and that’ll change in the futureif Disney has its way.
That list might look a little different than what you’ve seen in the past. Disney didn’t add support for Amazon Fire TV boxes until almost the last minute, thanks toa squabble between Disney and Amazonover advertising revenue on some of Disney’s streaming platforms.
Other hardware you might want
Unlike its peers, Disney+ includes4K Ultra HDcontent withDolby VisionandDolby Atmossupport at no extra cost, although it’s not going to apply to every movie and TV show on the service. While new feature films and Disney+’s original series should look and sound great, don’t expect Disney’s old live-action family films or Disney+’s collection of ’90s cartoons to all support Ultra HD.
Still, if you’re shopping for hardware, for Disney+, make sure your streaming box supports 4K, and invest ina good televisionandan Atmos-capable receiverorsoundbar. Trust us. It’s worth the extra money.
