Stream Disney Plus on Switch

Currently, you cannot stream Disney Plus on Switch, however, there is a piece of good news for Nintendo Switch users. It seems that Disney recently announced that the Disney Plus streaming service will be accessible on Nintendo’s handheld console.

The news originates from a presentation slide revealing the new streaming service available on consoles. So it joins PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, besides it has the benefit of being portable.

Netflix, despite practically being available on everything in your house is still not accessible on the Nintendo Switch. And this is in spite of announcements since 2017 that Netflix would be launching the Nintendo Switch. Back then Reggie Fils-Aimé said:

“What I would say is this: We built the Nintendo Switch to be a world-class gaming device, meaning we want you first and foremost to play games on the system and have an incredibly fun experience.

“We’re talking to a range of companies about other services, companies like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon — things that will come in time.

“In our view, these are not differentiators. What differentiates us is the way you play with the Nintendo Switch and what you can play.

“And that will continue to be our focus into the future as we continue driving this platform.”

Hopefully, Disney Plus members won’t make us wait so hard for the Nintendo Switch like with Netflix as the two look like a perfect match.

How to Watch Stream Disney Plus on Switch

Do you have been trying to stream Disney Plus on Switch but always failed? This is because there is no Disney Plus application for Nintendo Switch for now. Of course, this is not good if you only have Nintendo Switch as your streaming device.

The harsh truth is, to watch Disney Plus, you will need to reinvest in some other device, whether that be a smartphone, PC, or dedicated streaming device like an Xbox One.

Nevertheless, you can watch some Disney content on your Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo eShop offers applications for YouTube and Hulu, both of which provide some of their own Disney shows and movies.

It is saddening that Disney+ won’t be launching to Nintendo Switch for a while, given that it launched directly on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. However, this is not entirely surprising.

After all, it took a while for YouTube and Hulu to make it on Switch and Netflix is still finding its way out. Keeping that in mind, we are just glad that it is arriving on Switch at all.

We have not personally tried the above methods to watch Disney Plus on Switch yet, but some of our followers tried it and it worked for them without any difficulties. So we would recommend you try these steps and let us know if they worked for you or not in the comments.
