Disney just launched 3D movies on the Meta Quest ahead of Meta VR Glasses’ release

All available 3D movies are included with your Disney+ subscription and come with extras you can only experience in VR. See the Monsters, Inc. Scare Floor above? That’s an actual environment you could be in right now on your Meta Quest headset while watching Monsters, Inc. in 3D. Disney+ now offers all subscribers a selection of 3D movies when you use the Disney+ app on a Meta Quest headset. Only Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision capabilities are locked behind specific subscription tiers, not the movies themselves. Meta says the library includes over 60 3D movies, and more are coming when Meta VR Glasses launch in Spring 2027. While 3D movies on a VR headset are uniquely amazing (much more convincing than 3D TV ever was), the most exciting part of the Meta Quest experience is the immersive environments. Disney and Meta worked together to create a fully unique movie-watching experience that gives movies more than just the depth that 3D movies typically have; you’ll also be watching the movies in an environment that’s unique and changes throughout the movie. Meta says you 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 these immersive environments were shown off at Meta Connect in September when Meta VR Glasses were announced, but it’s a bit surprising to see so many of them launch months ahead of VR Glasses’ retail debut. Disney also highlights IMAX experiences, which are also available in the Disney+ app on Meta Quest headsets. These movies mimic the full IMAX experience in VR by putting you in a virtual theater with a massive screen, all at the correct IMAX aspect ratio. Rumor also has it that Meta will include other 3D movies with its Meta VR+ subscription service. If you’re not subscribed to Disney+ yet, you may be able to get a free trial so you can check out all the new movies available with every subscription tier. And if you don’t have a Meta Quest headset yet, we’re fully expecting it to go on sale for Black Friday this year, which looks to be starting earlier than ever this year, if other early Black Friday deals are any indication.
