Disney+ subscribers can watch a library of more than 60 3D movies on Meta Quest, including films paired with immersive VR environments. Meta says more titles are coming when Meta VR Glasses launch in Spring 2027.
The 3D movies are included with a Disney+ subscription. Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision features, but not the movies themselves, are restricted to specific subscription tiers.
This is reported by 9to5Google.
Disney and Meta created viewing environments that add to the 3D effect and change throughout a movie. Meta says viewers can “Catch Star Wars: A New Hope (Episode IV) from a comfy spot on Tatooine, see the Avengers battle Loki from atop Avengers Tower, settle in for a Pixar movie night on the Monsters, Inc. Scare Floor, and more.”
Some of the environments were shown at Meta Connect in September, when Meta VR Glasses were announced. Their arrival on Quest comes months before the glasses’ retail debut.
The Disney+ app on Meta Quest also offers IMAX experiences, placing viewers in a virtual theater with a large screen at the correct IMAX aspect ratio. There are also rumors that Meta will include other 3D movies in its Meta VR+ subscription service.
A free trial of Disney+ may be available to people who are not subscribers. 9to5Google also expects Meta Quest headsets to go on sale for Black Friday this year, which the article says appears to be starting earlier than ever, based on other early Black Friday deals.

We recommend paying attention to:
- Disney+ is exploring making part of its catalog available without subscription to better compete with ad supported platforms, though specifics on titles and timing remain unannounced.
- Meta has unveiled VR Glasses that are five times lighter than Meta Quest 3, support IMAX Enhanced and 3D films, and feature 5K displays, spatial audio, Meta AI, and gesture controls.
