Gamers can now stream the latest shows on Disney+ in better quality as Disney announced that the streaming service is now available for Sony's PlayStation5, according to Engadget.
In addition, it supports 4K-resolution and High Dynamic Range (HDR) playback. This means you can now watch Disney hits such as Marvel and "Star Wars" movies in better quality.
Users Can Now Enjoy High Resolution Display Quality
Previously, those who are using their Disney+ sign-up was running a PS4 version of the app. This means that the content was just limited to 1080p playback, and cannot display 4K.
The update in PS5 supports 4K HDR resolution. This means that you can now download a native Disney+ PS5 app and take advantage of better-quality display as you stream your favorite Disney shows, as per The Verge.
"A key part of our global expansion strategy is to meet consumers wherever they are, which is why we're excited to enhance Disney+ for PlayStation 5 users." said Disney streaming executive, Jerrell Jimerson.
With PS5 console, you could max out the quality of the display to 4K. However, prior to the update, Disney+ app for the Sony gaming console only supports 1080p quality.
This earned a fuss from the PS5 gamers, who have long been complaining about the "PS4 backward compatibility of Disney," according to Tech Times. Since it runs on the PS4 version of the app, it only supports the lower display quality.
But with the update, Disney finally addressed the issue and offers users, who are using PS5 consoles, the chance to enjoy their favorite contents in 4K resolution.
With this, say good bye to the pixelated and blurry 1080p resolution display on your 4K screen, the new upgrade from Disney has now fixed the issue.

Since you are now allowed to download a native Disney+ PS5 app, as mentioned earlier, you can enjoy an enhanced viewing experience with the 4K HDR playback support.
"The ability to support 4K HDR video streaming on the platform will also improve the viewing experience for fans," said Jimerson.
Likewise, he said that Disney is excited with the new update of Disney Plus with PS5. The fans will surely benefit as they enjoy the better viewing experience of their favorite Disney movies and series in 4K HDR.
