Xbox cloud gaming is now available on the Amazon Fire TV Stick thanks to the new Xbox app. Microsoft first stated last month that its Xbox titles would be available to Fire TV stick owners through the Xbox app, but it was not available on the Amazon app store.
Starting this month, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate customers may use the platform’s cloud gaming services to play their favorite Xbox games on the Amazon Fire TV Stick, removing the need for a dedicated Xbox device.
The new Xbox app for Amazon Fire TV Stick eliminates the need for an Xbox console to play games. Along with the announcement, Amazon launched an advertisement stating that “you don’t need an Xbox to play Xbox”.
The service supports the Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2023) or Fire TV Stick 4K (2023), and only these devices are compatible with the Xbox app. Players can play games by pairing Bluetooth-enabled controllers with the devices, according to the company. To play titles from the Xbox collection, you must have an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription.
Since it is a cloud-based gaming service, it is not dependent on the device’s graphics capabilities. Instead, gamers can enjoy graphically intensive titles like Starfield, Forza Horizon 5, Microsoft Flight Simulator, and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II.

However, Amazon says a “solid” internet connection is required, which, if available, can be used to stream games while also recording the player’s progress. The entire gaming setup would also be easily transportable, even when the player is on the go.
The Xbox app is free to download from the Amazon App Store and is available in Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, and other languages.
