• Users will require a Bluetooth controller and an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription to start playing.

Fire TV users are in for a treat as Amazon has partnered with Microsoft to bring the Xbox TV app to select Fire TV Sticks. The app will give users access to Xbox Cloud Gaming, essentially letting them play a wide range of Xbox games directly on their Fire TV devices.

Microsoft has announced that the Xbox app will be available for the Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2023) and Fire TV Stick 4K (2023) starting in July. Once it rolls out via the Amazon Appstore, users will only need an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription and a Bluetooth-enabled wireless controller to start streaming Xbox games. The company adds*that most Bluetooth controllers should be compatible, including the Xbox Wireless Controller, Xbox Adaptive Controller, PlayStation DualSense, and DualShock 4 controller.
