Disney+ expanded its Meta Quest experience with more than 60 movies available in 3D. The update also introduces immersive viewing environments inspired by Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars, turning the headset into a more cinematic space for subscribers.
The new features arrive through an updated Disney+ app on Meta Quest. Users can now watch selected films with a sense of depth, while virtual environments recreate settings from popular franchises.
For example, viewers can watch Star Wars: A New Hope from a Tatooine-inspired space or enjoy Monsters, Inc. from the Scare Floor. These environments aim to make the headset feel less like a flat screen and more like a personal theater.
Disney said the experience is designed to place subscribers inside familiar stories rather than simply display them on a virtual display. The company has positioned the update as a way to deepen engagement with its film library on mixed-reality hardware.
The 3D catalogue includes major titles such as The Avengers, Black Panther and Toy Story 5. It also features Avatar: Fire and Ash, giving viewers another reason to revisit large-scale franchise films in a headset.
The update does not require a separate purchase. Disney says the 3D movies and immersive environments are included with an eligible Disney+ subscription at no additional cost.
Alongside 3D content, Disney+ added support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos on supported titles. These features can improve contrast, color and spatial audio for viewers using compatible Quest hardware.
The company said these upgrades are intended to create a more premium home-cinema experience inside the headset. However, access to Dolby features may also depend on the user’s country and subscription tier.
The move signals Disney’s growing interest in mixed reality as a distribution platform. Rather than treating VR as a niche experiment, the company is using it to showcase premium formats and familiar franchises.
