DISNEY+ has relaunched its PS5 app with a special free upgrade.
Subscribers will now be able to stream their favourite movies and shows in even better quality.

Since the PS5 launched, gamers have been stuck with a copy of the old PS4 app.
But now they’ll get a bespoke version fit for current generation console technology.
And front and centre of it is support for 4K HDR at last.
Getting 4K thrown in for nothing extra is great considering that many other rivals charge for it.
On Netflix, for example, you have to have a premium subscription which costs £15.99.
A Disney+ subscription currently costs £7.99 a month.
Of course, to be able to enjoy the beauty of 4K you’ll need a 4K capable TV.
Most modern TVs are made to 4K standard now – and prices are gradually falling too.

“A key part of our global expansion strategy is to meet consumers wherever they are, which is why we’re excited to enhance Disney+ for PlayStation 5 users,” said Jerrell Jimerson, who’s in charge of Product & Design for Disney Streaming.
“The ability to support 4K HDR video streaming on the platform will also improve the viewing experience for fans.”
In other news, Disney is expected to follow in Netflix’s footsteps with a cheaper subscription plan with ads on it.
Subscribers to the new payment tier will apparently have to watch up to four minutes of adverts an hour as part of their viewing experience, reports in May suggested.
Ads for alcohol and politics will be banned in a bid to keep the platform family-friendly.
