Disney Plus is one of the most popular streaming services to come out recently — and it's available to download on your Xbox One.
In addition to offering all of Disney's animated classics, TV shows, and more, the service also features original shows like "The Mandalorian," similar to Netflix Originals.
If you use your Xbox One for streaming, chances are you've already downloaded Netflix or another app. Disney Plus is downloaded in the same way.
Here are the details, and how to download it onto your Xbox One.
How to get Disney Plus on your Xbox One
1. From your Xbox One home screen, use the right back trigger on your controller to scroll over to "Store."
You can also launch the Store by pressing the Home button on your controller. Select "Store" from the pop-up menu that opens, which will appear as the Microsoft logo in a shopping bag.
2. Scroll down until you find the "Search" tab. Select it by pressing the "A" button on your controller.

5. This will open the app's details page. If the app is already installed on your console, the page will give you the option to launch the app. Otherwise, scroll to and select the green "Get" button to install the app. Since it's free to download, you shouldn't be prompted for any payment information.
