Disney+ is the latest big-name app to make its way to the Microsoft Store.
What you need to know
- The Disney+ app is now available through the Microsoft Store.
- The app works on Windows 10 and will work on Windows 11.
- A Disney+ app was already available for Xbox consoles, but it is now also available on PCs.
After being briefly teased during the official announcement of Windows 11, the Disney+ app is now in the Microsoft Store. While the app was first shown in an announcement video of Windows 11, it will also work on Windows 10.
Disney+ is a popular streaming service with a wide range of media, including Disney classics, Marvel content, and Star Wars movies and television shows. Depending on your region, it also has content from Star+. It's now a bit easier to watch that content on Windows 10 and Windows 11 PCs.
Before the launch of the Disney+ app in the Microsoft Store, you could install Disney+ as a progressive web app. That remains an option, but some people will find it easier to download an app from the Microsoft Store.
The addition of Disney+ to the Microsoft Store is a win for the maker of Windows. Microsoft has shown a renewed interest in app development and getting apps into the Microsoft Store. Zoom, OBS Studio, and Canva recently arrived in the Microsoft Store, as did Visual Studio Code.
When unveiling Windows 11, Microsoft's Panos Panay made a point to say, "Oh, that's cool. I love seeing Disney+ in the store."
