The Xbox app and Game Pass Ultimate library will come to select Amazon Fire TV devices

Microsoft and Amazon have announced that the Xbox app will be available on Amazon Fire TV next month.

This partnership also means that starting in July, the Xbox Game Ultimate Pass library of games will be available on select TVs equipped with a compatible Fire TV Stick and a Bluetooth-enabled controller.

Users will have access to hundreds of cloud games directly through the Xbox app on select Fire TV devices without the need for a console, like Bethesda’s latest space RPG Star Fieldas well as other titles such as Fall 4, Forza Horizon 5, Sea of thieves, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2and a lot more.

“We are committed to making it easier for customers to access their favorite entertainment with Fire TV. We’re excited to partner with Microsoft to bring the Xbox app to select Fire TV devices, so customers can enjoy a huge library of high-quality games, allowing them to play amazing titles without the need for a console,” said Daniel Rausch, vice president of Fire TV and Alexa.

“Now customers have even more ways to play the games they love wherever they are with a compatible Fire TV Stick, Bluetooth controller and Game Pass Ultimate membership.”

To get started, users will need a Fire TV Stick 4K Max or Fire TV Stick 4K. You can then download the Xbox app to your Fire TV device via the Amazon app store. Once installed, you can log in with your Microsoft account, and if you’re already a member, you’ll have instant access to stream and play any games available in the Game Pass Ultimate library.

When it comes to connecting a Bluetooth controller, you can choose from a range of options, including an Xbox Wireless Controller, Xbox Adaptive Controller, DualSense Wireless Controller, or DualShock 4.

Earlier this month, Amazon expanded the availability of its Amazon Luna cloud gaming platform to three additional countries, including Austria, the Netherlands and Poland, allowing users in these countries to take advantage of the wide selection of available games.

Amazon has also partnered with GOG Game Store to offer over 40 titles that can be played on Luna via the cloud, such as the wildly popular Stardew Valley, Hollow Knight, AND Cuphead.
