Xbox App to Launch on Some Amazon Fire TV Devices
The Xbox app is coming to two Amazon Fire TV devices beginning in July.
Microsoft Gaming revealed on Thursday that Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) will go live on Fire TV 4K Max (a device priced at $59.99) and Fire TV Stick 4K ($49.99) through the Xbox app, giving access to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (priced at $16.99 per month) games for currently subscribed and new customers.

Among the hundreds of titles included in the offering are “Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II,” “Starfield” and “Forza Horizon 5,” as well as Bethesda Game Studios’ “Fallout” franchise, including “Fallout 76” and “Fallout 4,” which inspired Amazon Prime Video’s hit live-action series based on the video game.
“We’re committed to making it easy for customers to access their favorite entertainment experiences with Fire TV,” Fire TV and Alexa vice president Daniel Rausch said. “We’re excited to work with Microsoft to bring the Xbox app to select Fire TV devices so customers can enjoy a vast library of high-quality games, allowing them to play amazing titles without the need for a console. Now customers have even more ways to play the games they love, wherever they are, with just a compatible Fire TV Stick, Bluetooth controller, and Game Pass Ultimate membership.”
Xbox experiences and platforms engineering corporate vice president Ashley McKissick added: “The expansion of Xbox gaming to Fire TV devices offers players another option for enjoying their favorite games using devices they already own. For those who don’t own an Xbox console, this provides an affordable and convenient way to get started. With Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, there’s something for every type of player. We look forward to having more people join the Xbox gaming community.”
