Amazon and Xbox Team Up to Bring Xbox Cloud Games to Amazon Fire Devices

Xbox has announced a partnership with Amazon that will bring Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) to select Amazon Fire TV devices in July. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will be able to play games directly from the Xbox app via cloud gaming in over 25 countries around the world.

“We’re committed to making it easy for customers to access their favorite entertainment on 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 so they can play amazing games without having to use their console,” said Daniel Rausch, vice president of Fire TV and Alexa. “Now, customers have even more ways to play the games they love on the go with a compatible Fire TV Stick, Bluetooth controller, and Game Pass Ultimate membership.”

The game will initially be available on Fire TV 4K Max and Fire TV Stick 4K for £49.99. It will give gamers a new way to access the massive Game Pass library and will be able to play games like Starfield and Forza Horizon 5. It’s a huge partnership for Xbox that will help gamers rediscover the ways they can enjoy their favourite games.

“The expansion of Xbox games to Fire TV gives gamers another option to enjoy their favorite games on the devices they already own,” added Ashley McKissick, corporate vice president of Xbox Experience and Platform Engineering. “For those who don’t own an Xbox, this is an affordable and convenient way to get started. With Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, there’s something for everyone. We can’t wait for more people to join the Xbox gaming community.”
