A Disney+ streaming service sign is pictured at the D23 Expo, billed as the "largest Disney fan event in the world," on August 23, 2019 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.
And it turns out that the combined subscribers of Disney Plus, ESPN Plus, and Hulu outperform Netflix.
Disney Releases Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu Subscriber Count
As per the latest news story by Tech Crunch, the giant entertainment conglomerate has revealed the number of subscribers of its streaming services in various parts of the world.
The media conglomerate reports that Disney+ currently has roughly 164.2 million subscribers globally. It is a significant increase from its number of subscribers in the previous quarter.

Meanwhile, it is worth mentioning that Disney was only expecting its flagship streamer to add roughly 9.35 new subscribers. But it turns out to be around 3 million more than what it initially predicted.
On the other hand, its sports-focused streaming service, ESPN Plus, now rocks more than 24 million subscribers. It is a slight bump from its previous figures. The sports streamer used to only have around 22.8 million subscribers.
The other streaming platform of Disney, Hulu, only received about 1 million new subscribers. Thanks to the slight increase, it now has 47.2 million customers.
But it is worth noting that Netflix still boasts a staggering 222.09 million subscribers from various parts of the globe. With that said, it appears that Disney+ still lags behind the giant steamer that brought us "Stranger Things" and "Squid Game."
However, the combined subscriber numbers of Disney across its streaming services easily trample Netflix.
Disney Has More Subscribers Than Netflix
According to a recent report by CBS News, the giant media company touts that it has more subscribers than the home of "Stranger Things."
The house of Mickey Mouse reports that it now has a total of 235 million subscribers as of October 1. It is the combined figures of its three giant streaming services, which include Hulu, ESPN+, and its flagship streamer, Disney+.
