Microsoft and Amazon have announced plans to bring Xbox cloud gaming to the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (2023) and Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2023). Starting in July, you’ll be able to install an Xbox app on any of those devices, and if you have an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, you’ll be able to play many included games.
This may be one of the cheapest and simplest tactics for playing Xbox games, as an Xbox console is not required. All you need is an affordable media streaming device and a compatible Bluetooth game controller (plus a Game Pass Ultimate subscription).
This subscription will cost you $17 per month, but you can currently get a 14-day subscription for just $1, and Amazon notes that there’s an option to “try” Fortnite for free without a subscription.
Amazon and Microsoft note that you can use multiple Bluetooth game controllers, adding the Xbox Wireless Controller, Xbox Adaptive Controller, or Sony PlayStation DualSense or DualShock Four controllers.
Of course, this is rarely the first game streaming service that works with Amazon Fire TV devices. Amazon’s Luna game streaming service allows you to buy and stream titles or subscribe to subscriptions, adding Luna ($10/month) or Ubisoft ($18/month). month) to access a catalog of games.
I’d be surprised if you couldn’t also use Amazon’s Luna controller for Xbox gaming, however, it’s worth noting that there’s surely no mention of the Luna service or Luna controller on Amazon or in Microsoft’s blog posts announcing the new partnership.
Meanwhile, Amazon’s Fire TV devices aren’t officially the other main game streaming platform, but other people have found that it’s pretty straightforward to load the NVIDIA GeForce Now app on a Fire TV device.
Liliputing’s main sources of income are advertising and affiliate links (if you click the “Store” button at the top of the page and buy anything on Amazon, for example, we’ll get a small commission).
But there are some tactics to get directly to the site, even if you use an ad blocker* and hate online shopping.
