This past weekend, Disney+ announced at Comic Con Africa about The Walt Disney Company’s streaming service, Disney+, which will have its app built into Xbox platforms.
It is now official that September 29th 2022, will be the day South Africa can get their hands on the Xbox version of Disney+. People in South Africa have been waiting with bated breath for Disney+ to become available on the Xbox and PlayStation consoles in the region since the streaming service was introduced there in May 2022.
Beginning on September 29th, 2022, the Disney app will be available on Xbox systems in South Africa. The Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X are the several versions of the Xbox system that will be able to use the Disney+ streaming service when it launches later this year.

It went on to say that “Users will have access to high-quality viewing, up to four concurrent streams, unlimited downloads on up to ten devices, and the ability to set up to seven different profiles,” which included the ability for parents to set a PIN to access content that was appropriate for their children’s age group.
On the other hand, the streaming company hasn’t said when the Playstation app for streaming videos would be ready.
Since DStv first came out in South Africa, users of that service have been able to watch Disney+ with the Explora Ultra decoder.
Disney+ is accessible in 64 countries after making its debut in November 2019 in the United States of America, Canada, and the Netherlands. It was reported back in January of this year that the company would be starting in Africa, namely in the countries of South Africa, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia.
Showmax, Netflix, and Amazon Prime are just a few companies competing with one another in the South African industry.
Disney+ gives users access to a wide range of entertainment options, such as more than 1,000 films, more than 2,000 series, and 200 original shows from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and other studios.
This September will see the premiere of a new drama series titled “The Old Man,” starring John Lithgow and Jeff Bridges, as well as the return of the Sanderson sisters in the film “Hocus Pocus 2.” In other news, fans of the Star Wars franchise will soon be able to watch the highly anticipated series Andor, while the next blockbuster film from Marvel Studios, Thor: Love and Thunder, will debut on streaming services. Users will get access to up to four concurrent streams, unlimited downloads on up to ten devices, and the ability to set up as many as seven separate profiles. This includes letting parents set a PIN so their kids can access the right content for their ages.
