Disney+ has added 3D movie support for the Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S. The newly-added support provides Meta VR headset users with a more immersive way to watch their favorite Disney+ movies, complete with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision in many cases.

What You Need to Know

  • Disney+ has added 3D movie support for users watching on Meta Quest 3 and 3S headsets.
  • The rollout includes major titles from the Avatar, Star Wars, Marvel, and Tron franchises.
  • The new update also includes Disney+ Environments, unlocking access to themed virtual viewing spaces.

While Meta Quest users could already download the Disney+ app on their headsets, they were limited to watching movies in 2D. A new app update rolled out this week, and the headline feature is the newly unlocked support for streaming movies in 3D on Meta Quest headsets.

Not every single title in the Disney+ library is available in 3D, with support currently limited to around 60 movies. However, the supported catalog at launch does feature a number of popular titles, including:

  • Avatar
  • Avatar: The Way of Water
  • Avatar: Fire and Ash
  • Avengers: Endgame
  • Elemental
  • The Fantastic Four: First Steps
  • Inside Out 2
  • Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
  • Star Wars: The Force Awakens
  • Tron: Legacy
  • Tron: Ares

Another 3D limitation is regional support. Disney+ subscribers in select locations may find their region has yet to gain the ability to watch in 3D. In some cases, subscribers may also find their subscription plan locks them out of watching 3D movies.

The same update also unlocks access to Disney+ Environments on Meta Quest headsets, including the Meta Quest 2. This features allows subscribers to stream in locations like the harsh desert planet Tatooine in the Outer Rim of the Star Wars galaxy or the Scare Floor from Monsters, Inc.

For future reference, Disney and Meta also confirmed that both 3D movies and Disney+ Environments will be automatically supported on Meta VR Glasses in select countries, when the ultra-lightweight virtual and mixed reality wearable launches in Spring 2027.
