Disney surprised everyone when they announced their new streaming service. Rather than charging premium prices like they do at their theme parks, the company decided to charge only $7 per month for Disney+. Not only do you get almost every movie and TV show Disney’s studios have ever produced, you get family-friendly films from Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, The Muppets and more.
Even better, Disney+ doesn’t charge extra for premium features like 4K streaming or offline viewing. The bundle with Hulu and ESPN+ makes this an even better deal.

Disney+ on the NVIDIA Shield
Unlike other gaming platforms, Disney+ support for the NVIDIA Shield applies to all versions of the device. Both Microsoft and Sony launched their fourth-generation game consoles as high-definition devices that only output at 1080p resolution. On the other hand, NVIDIA made the Shield support 4K output from the beginning. Of course, it also had the advantage of launching a decade later but who’s counting?
Because the Shield is 4K compatible, Disney+ subscribers will be able to launch all of the 4K Disney content that’s exclusive to Disney+.

Which Devices Does Disney+ Support?
Besides the NVIDIA Shield, Disney+ supports game consoles from Sony and Microsoft. All versions of the current-generation PS4 and Xbox One are supported, but your hardware may not support Disney’s 4K content. Disney+ is also available on the next generation Xbox and PlayStation platforms.
In the Apple ecosystem, you’ll find apps for the iPhone, the iPod Touch and the iPad. Owners of Android smartphones and tablets can stream Disney too.
Other devices that support Android TV, including certain Sony and Sharp smart TVs, will be able to stream Disney+. Televisions that use Roku or Amazon Fire TV also have Disney+ apps. Certain LG and Samsung televisions have native Disney+ apps as well.
Streaming devices like the Apple TV, Roku stick and Amazon Fire TV stick also have the Disney+ app.
