Even though Disney+ won’t be on the Nintendo Switch for a while, Disney has made a concerted effort to develop Disney+ apps for the most popular streaming platforms. Across all devices, the Disney+ monthly subscription is only $7 (although that will rise to $8 per month in March 2021). Discover Nintendo Switch, the video game system you can play at home or on the go. Plus, get the latest games and news on the official Nintendo site. Disney Plus isn’t officially confirmed to be coming to Nintendo Switch. However, there is reason to believe that the app could eventually make the transition to the handheld console.
Stream Movies on the Go
Good news for Nintendo Switch owners. It appears that Disney‘s recently announced Disney+ streaming service will be available on Nintendo’s handheld console. The news comes from a presentation slide showing the new streaming service’ availability on consoles. So it joins PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, except it has the advantage of being portable.
No, there is no Disney Plus app on the Nintendo Switch. If you want to stream movies or shows on your Switch, you can instead download the Hulu or YouTube apps. Visit Business Insider's homepage.
How Will Disney+ Work on the Nintendo Switch?
With Netflix pulling out of the Nintendo Switch, Disney supporting the handheld is a great idea to increase their reach. It also helps the hardware considerably since it only has YouTube, and Hulu (but only if you are in the US).
Although both Nintendo and Disney have yet to officially confirm functionality, the appearance on the official promotional slide is as good enough of a confirmation as it comes.
Disney Nintendo Switch Case
Users should not only be able to stream but download videos as well. The latter, confirmed by the official Disney+ Twitter page as a function of the service. Users should be able to install the official app from Nintendo game store once it launches.
Here we go… #DisneyPlus will allow downloading, so all content from the service can be accessed offline!
