Microsoft brings Xbox cloud gaming to Amazon Fire TV: No console required
In a new announcement, Ashley McKissick, Corporate Vice President of Xbox Experiences and Platforms Engineering, shared details of a new collaboration between Xbox and Amazon. This partnership will allow Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members in over 25 countries to access games via the Xbox app on select Fire TV devices through cloud gaming. This initiative is set to broaden the ways in which users can enjoy gaming, eliminating the need for a traditional console.
The Xbox app will launch on Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2023) priced at $59.99 and Fire TV Stick 4K (2023) at $49.99 starting in July. This move is geared towards attracting those new to gaming as well as providing seasoned gamers with a more flexible and cost-effective way to access their games.
