It’s been almost exactly a year since Disney+ launched its ad-supported subscription in its home country, and it’s about time Europe got a taste of it too. Starting November 1st, subscriptions to the service will change, becoming a bit more expensive if you want to skip the ads. However, for those who have already subscribed to Disney+, the price increases and changes won’t happen until a month later, in December.
What will change? The price of the premium subscription increases to 10.99 euros per month, with video quality up to 4K with HDR and Dolby Atmos. Standard retains its £7.99 monthly price and offers up to 1080p video quality with surround sound. What’s new is what Disney calls the “ad-supported Standard”, which costs £4.99 a month and offers the same video and audio quality as the Standard.
It is not yet clear how long and how often the advertising will run. However, from what we know from the US, it seems to last 30 to 45 seconds before each film or TV show, followed by two to four commercial breaks during viewing.
Which subscription will you choose, or will this be the final straw that stops you from subscribing to Disney+?
