Sony's PlayStation 5 has finally relaunched the latest version of the Disney Plus app. Viewers can stream their favorite movies and series with 4K HDR support for the first time.
The previous support for PS4 is only for 1080p viewing. With the new changes, you can now elevate your binge-watching experience to an extremely high quality.
Disney Plus App Ges PS5 4K Support
The Walt Disney Company's streaming video platform Disney Plus just received a major update this week. The new version has finally adopted 4K support in the native PS5 apps, per GameSpot.
Before Disney+ got this feature, its main competitors in the streaming industry had already done that. As such, HBO Max and Netflix are the first to introduce 4K HDR streaming to PlayStation 5 owners.
The update just came in time prior to the new pricing model that Walt Disney imposed on the Disney+ app.
For those subscribers of this streaming service, the membership charge will now cost $11 per month. This will be effective beginning on Dec. 8.
On the same date, the new ad-supported tier is expected to arrive on Disney. The pricing for this service will sit at a monthly price of $8.
For those who don't want to miss the latest films and television series, you can take advantage of Disney+ Premium, which will allow you to stream the newest movies on the go.

Downside of Using PS5 For 4K Streaming
Engadget cited that PS5 might still be lacking support for video streaming despite the debut of the 4K HDR10 on the platform.
At the moment, it cannot yet handle the Dolby Atmos audio and even the Dolby Vision format. The tech site explains that using PlayStation 5 or Microsoft's Xbox Series X in streaming is a complete waste of electricity.
Since streaming videos on the consoles consume nearly 70 watts of power, it's not practical to use them as a substitute for TV or smartphones when it comes to movie viewing.
As a reference, Apple TV devices only consume about 3 to 6 watts. If you want to conserve electricity, it's still ideal for sticking with the gadgets that are originally made for streaming.
