Disney+ and ESPN+ Initiate Gradual Release for Xfinity Users
Alright, let's dive into the skinny on Comcast's latest move!
Comcast's Grand Slam: Comcast has finally jumped into the game, announcing the integration of Disney+ and ESPN+ for their Xfinity customers, a move long overdue since Disney+'s launch a year ago. Let's face it, better late than never, right?
Get Ready to Play Ball: Starting today, X1 and Flex customers can look forward to streaming Disney+ and ESPN+ content directly through their Xfinity interface. That's about 'tens of millions' of happy customers, according to Comcast's announcement on Monday. ESPN+ is already available for Flex customers through the ESPN app, and Comcast promises to bring the app to X1 users soon.
The Show Must Go On: Once the apps reach X1 and Flex customers, they can expect to see content from both ESPN+ and Disney+ integrated into their user experience, popping up in the sports, movies, and TV sections of their interface. The Xfinity Voice Remote will also come in handy, allowing users to navigate to the platforms or specific titles with ease.
Billing Time?: When we asked about billing integration with Disney, a Comcast spokesperson shared some good news and some not-so-good news. Good news - they're planning to offer it later this year! The not-so-good news - for now, customers still need to sign up for the apps or the Disney bundle through Disney and then sign in on Xfinity.
A Little Late, but Better: Despite the delayed arrival of Disney+ on Xfinity, it seems the streamer is making its move just in time for some of Disney's biggest releases this year, such as Black Widow and live-action Cruella, which are set to hit the streaming service later this summer. So, Xfinity users can relax and enjoy the ride!
Stay Tuned, Fans: With Comcast continuously expanding its streaming offerings, integrating popular services like Disney+ and ESPN+ aligns well with their aim to boost user experience.
