Disney+ loses access to Dolby Vision and HDR10+ in some European countries
Engadget • 2/6/2026
Summary
Disney+ subscribers in Germany, Portugal, Poland, France, and the Netherlands have lost access to Dolby Vision and HDR10+ due to technical challenges, as reported by TechRadar and FlatpanelsHD. Disney confirmed that Dolby Vision support is currently unavailable in these countries and is working to restore access, while 4K UHD and HDR support remain available on supported devices. Additionally, Disney has removed references to Dolby Vision from its video quality support page in Germany and now lists HDR10 as the default HDR format, despite Dolby Vision being a feature for several years.
