This was largely expected, given that Disney Plus was supported byAmazonFire devices from launch in the US, but new users might be reassured to learn this info regardless.
Disney Plus will be factored into the devices' universal search feature, and Alexa voice control can be used to play shows likeThe Mandalorian, or findMarvel movies. Users will be able to sign up to Disney Plus through their Amazon devices, too, or simply connect an existing account.
This is barely news, really – but Disney hasn’t been too specific about which devices will support the streaming service upon its UK launch, even though we’ve assumed it’ll simply mimic the US launch. “Subscribers will be able to stream Disney+ on nearly all major mobile and connected TV devices at launch, including gaming consoles, streaming media players, andsmart TVs,” is how Disney put it.

In the UK, too, you’ll be able towatch Disney Plus on Android-based Philips smart TVs. The notable exception is theNintendo Switch, which still doesn’t even support Netflix.
