100GB UHD Blu-ray discs
Disney confirms that the UHD Blu-ray release of Loki will be on a 100GB UHD Blu-ray disc with Dolby Atmos audio.
The same 100GB capacity applies to the other titles but all of them will be in HDR10, not Dolby Vision, according to The Digital Bits.
The series will remain available on Disney+ to stream in 4K Dolby Vision and Atmos. The UHD Blu-ray discs will offer higher bitrates for video and audio, and a steelbook cover.
Disney also recently announced that the Disney+/Hulu exclusive movie Prey will be released on UHD Blu-ray.
