Sky TV customers are in for a treat with a recent free upgrade that includes access to Disney+ at no extra cost. This upgrade is part of the new Sky Ultimate plan, offering subscribers access to popular content from Pixar, Star Wars, Disney, and Marvel without any additional charges.
In addition to Disney+, Sky is set to introduce HBO Max Basic and Hayu to its lineup soon. The integration of these services across Sky Glass, Sky Stream, and Sky Q will allow for seamless viewing experiences, with Disney+ content appearing in features like Continue Watching and voice control.
Furthermore, Sky Cinema subscribers will now have access to a dedicated Disney+ Cinema channel. For those not currently with Sky, the new Sky Ultimate package is open to all UK households starting at £24 per month.
The £24 plan includes Netflix Standard with Ads, Disney+ Standard with Ads, HBO Max Basic with Ads (launching on 26 March), Hayu (full access from July), and over 130 Sky channels. Sophia Ahmad, Sky’s Chief Consumer Officer, emphasized the aim of providing a unified viewing experience by bringing together Sky, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and Hayu in one subscription.
Existing customers will enjoy the expanded lineup at no extra cost, and NOW Entertainment users will receive HBO Max within the app without additional charges. Sky’s efforts to simplify streaming and enhance the viewing experience are evident in these changes.
