Meta brings Disney+ 3D streaming and themed virtual environments to Quest headsets

Disney has rolled out a new Disney+ app for Meta's Quest 3 and Quest 3S headsets, bringing 3D streaming films and themed virtual environments to subscribers. Meta says the collection features more than 60 3D movies, including the full run of Marvel, Pixar, and recent Star Wars releases, alongside high-frame-rate versions of the Avatar films previously limited to Apple's Vision Pro. All 3D titles are accessible with a standard subscription, though Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision remain tied to specific Disney+ tiers, and exact film availability varies by region. [1][2]

Viewers can watch films inside specialized environments that change during playback, such as Tatooine, Avengers Tower, the Monsters, Inc. Scare Floor, or virtual IMAX-scale theaters. While Engadget found that the stereoscopic presentations look bright and sharp on the Quest 3, the experience suffers from Meta Horizon OS window limitations that prevent freely resizing video outside virtual cinema mode. The older Quest 2 is excluded from the new feature entirely. [1][2]

The release arrives well after Apple established 3D viewing on the Vision Pro in 2024. Meta has promised that additional 3D movies will roll out ahead of the scheduled spring 2027 arrival of its upcoming $1,300 VR Glasses. [1][2]
