Microsoft and Amazon have joined forces to bring Xbox games to Fire TV via cloud streaming, a move that is now live for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. Setting up console-free gaming on Fire TV is simple; download the Xbox app on a compatible device like the Fire TV Stick 4K, sign in with an active Game Pass Ultimate account, and connect a Bluetooth-enabled controller. With a recommended 20 Mbps internet connection over 5GHz Wi-Fi, gamers can access Microsoft's streamable Xbox Game Pass library on Fire TV in 25 countries.
This collaboration comes after the launch of Microsoft's Xbox app for Samsung TVs in 2022, marking a new era for cloud gaming accessibility. With the Keystone device project shelved, this partnership with Amazon represents Microsoft's commitment to expanding cloud gaming opportunities for a wider audience.
