Disney Plus (or Disney+, if you prefer) is almost upon us. We know many important details about the House of Mouse’s standalone streaming service — including how much it’ll cost in Australia and what you’ll be able to watch. Now a final piece of the puzzle has been revealed: all the devices you can use to stream Disney+ at launch.
Below is everything that will support Disney+ when the service launches in November. It’s worth noting that this list comes via Disney America – so don’t be surprised if some of the options don’t work in Australia. With that said, it’s a safe bet that most of these will be popping up Down Under either during or soon after launch.
Here’s the list:
-
Apple TV
-
Android devices, including Android TV
-
Chromecast
-
iOS and iPadOS
-
PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro
-
Roku devices, including smart TVs with the Roku TV OS
-
Web browsers via disneyplus.com
-
Xbox One consoles, including the Xbox One S and One X
There are a few notable omissions here with the big one being Amazon products. No Fire TV devices or Kindle Fire tablets will support the service, at least at launch. The Nintendo Switch is also absent from the list.
It’s always possible that Disney+ could expand to Amazon and Nintendo’s products in the future, but for now, that doesn’t seem to be part of Disney’s plan for its new service.
That said, Ultra HD streaming does seem to be part of the plan — at least for select content that supports UHD 4K and HDR. You’ll need a strong enough internet connection and devices that can manage that resolution, of course, which is never guaranteed in Australia. On the plus side, Disney+ won’t charge you extra to access the best video quality you can get.
Disney+ will cost $8.99 monthly or $89.99 annually in Australia. Hopefully, there will also be an option to bundle Disney+ with either Stan or Foxtel – both are reportedly in talks with the media giant. If you’re curious about other features included in Disney+, click here.
