Watch Disney Plus in 4K on Xbox One

Of course, if you’re shelling out a few bucks for Disney Plus, you’re going to want to get the most out of it that you can. So, you should plan on utilizing 4K streaming, which is offered with Disney Plus.

However, there is a major caveat for Xbox One users: you’ll need an Xbox One X or Xbox One S to stream in 4K resolution. The launch Xbox One version will not play in 4K. Sorry.

You’ll also need to have an internet connection of at least 25 Mbps, so you might want to check your internet connection speed if you don’t currently know what your connection speed is to see if you’ll be able to stream Disney Plus in 4K on your Xbox One.


When Does Disney+ Launch on Xbox One?

Disney Plus launches on the Xbox One in North America on November 12, 2019. While we don’t have an exact launch time just yet, it looks like the service will be going live at 9:00AM EST.

As far as the rest of the world is concerned, Disney+ will launch in Europe on March 31, 2020.


How Much Will Disney Plus Cost ?

You’ll need to purchase a Disney Plus subscription for either $6.99/month or $69.99/year. There’s also a Disney Plus bundle available that adds Hulu and ESPN+ for a total of $12.99/month.

After you’ve subscribed to Disney Plus, you’ll then use your credentials to log into the Disney Plus app on your Xbox One, Xbox One S, or Xbox One X to start streaming.
