Hulu App to End on Nintendo Switch Feb. 5 as Disney Consolidates Into Disney+

Nintendo’s cutoff signals the first concrete step in Hulu’s shift from a standalone app to a Disney+ hub.

Overview

  • Nintendo removed Hulu from the Switch eShop and says support for the app ends on February 5, 2026, after which it will no longer function on the console.
  • This is the first confirmed device shutdown date tied to Hulu’s wind-down as a separate application.
  • Disney is integrating Hulu into Disney+, with Hulu programming already surfacing in the Disney+ app since October 2025.
  • Some titles surfaced in Disney+ still require an active Hulu subscription, and Disney has not said whether the February 5 cutoff applies to other devices.
  • Disney took majority control of Hulu in 2019 and full ownership in 2025, and it offers a Disney+/Hulu bundle priced at $12.99 per month.
