How to play Xbox on an Amazon Fire TV?

This initiative allows gamers to access their favourite Xbox games directly from their Amazon Fire TV stick via cloud gaming. Gone are the days of having to buy a specific games console: from now on, all you need is an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, an Amazon Fire Stick and an Xbox controller to enjoy hundreds of video games.

1. Own an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K or 4K Max

First of all, you’ll need an Amazon TV Stick to enjoy Xbox cloud gaming. You can choose between the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, priced at £69.99 on Amazon, and the Fire TV Stick 4K, priced at £59.99.

However, we recommend that you hold off for a bit since Prime Day 2024 is just around the corner, taking place on 16-17 July. This way you can make the most of low prices on Amazon devices. Without a doubt, Fire Sticks will be part of the many offers featured in the sale.

Microsoft has made its huge library of Xbox games available via a specific app on Amazon Fire TV. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will be able to choose from a wide range of popular games, Xbox exclusives and more.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the premium tier of the game subscription service offered by Xbox. Game Pass Ultimate gives you complete access to the games catalogue, online games and cloud gaming on consoles or PC. It’s available for £12.99 a month. There is an offer currently running for an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate 14-day trial for £1 – a great way to test out if you want to subscribe or not!

3. Use an Xbox controller

For the ultimate experience, gamers simply need to connect their Bluetooth-enabled wireless Xbox controller to their Amazon Fire TV.
