Disney+ viewers using Meta Quest 3 or Meta Quest 3S can now watch selected movies in 3D, following the feature's introduction on November 10. The service also added virtual environments that give subscribers a choice of settings in which to watch their entertainment through the supported headsets. Access is initially restricted to subscribers in select countries.
Watching requires a Disney+ subscription, and headset owners can download the Disney+ app from the Meta Horizon Store to use the service on Meta Quest. The 3D option covers only selected movies in the Disney+ catalog, so it does not extend across everything subscribers can watch through the service. Subscribers whose bundle includes Hulu can also watch Hulu programming through Disney+ while using Meta Quest.

Premium subscribers using Meta Quest can watch selected programming in Dolby Vision, with sound in Dolby Atmos. Eligibility for those two formats, as well as 3D playback, varies according to both the subscriber's plan and the region where they are watching. Even a featured movie can lack those viewing or audio options in a particular country, limiting which formats a subscriber can actually use.
For the virtual surroundings, Disney+ offers settings inspired by worlds including Pixar, Marvel Studios and Star Wars, among others.
Disney says the 3D feature will also come to Meta VR Glasses, with access in select countries timed to that device's spring 2027 launch. The announcement says Disney+ on the glasses will also carry IMAX Enhanced content. Disney calls that hardware the first VR device to be certified for the format.
Earlier details about Meta VR Glasses established that the device would run apps already available for Quest. September coverage also recorded that a price for Meta VR Glasses had not been disclosed at that point.
