Xbox Cloud Gaming is coming to Amazon’s Fire TV Sticks in July

Microsoft is launching its Xbox TV app on Amazon’s Fire TV Sticks in July. The Xbox app will provide access to Xbox Cloud Gaming so subscribers to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate can stream a variety of games directly to Fire TV devices.

Microsoft will support the Fire TV Stick 4K Max and Fire TV Stick 4K models for its Xbox app, which will be available in more than 25 countries. All you’ll need is a compatible Fire TV Stick, a Bluetooth-enabled wireless controller, and an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription to stream Xbox games.

This marks the first time the Xbox TV app has launched on a device other than Samsung’s recent TVs and monitors. Microsoft first partnered with Samsung in 2022 to launch an Xbox TV app on Samsung’s 2022 smart TVs. An Xbox app also appeared on Meta’s Quest VR headsets last year, providing access to Xbox Cloud Gaming.

“Over the past several years, we have been on a journey to deliver cloud gaming to more devices and to more people around the globe,” says Ashley McKissick, head of Xbox experiences and platforms engineering. “We are excited to add Fire TV to our growing family of cloud gaming devices and eager to welcome new players into this experience.”
