Disney’s 3D movies shine on Meta’s Quest 3, it’s just a shame it took so long

Meta has added a library of Disney 3D films to Disney+ on Quest 3 and Quest 3S, bringing titles from Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars, as well as high-frame-rate versions of the Avatar films, to home VR. The films can look vivid and immersive, making the update a useful new feature for existing headset owners who subscribe to Disney+.

The experience has limitations: the Quest’s LCD screens do not provide true HDR, its built-in speakers are weak, and Horizon OS restricts how video can be positioned and resized. The Quest 2 and original Quest are excluded despite apparently having no technical barrier to 3D streaming, and the Quest 3 launched in autumn 2023, leaving the timing of Meta’s update unclear.
