Xbox
is
continuing
to
expand
how
and
where
you
can
play
its
games.
Speaking
on
the
Xbox
Wire,
Ashley
McKissick,
Corporate
Vice
President,
Xbox
Experiences
and
Platforms
Engineering,
today
announced
a
new
partnership
with
Amazon
to
allow
game
streaming
through
Amazon’s
Fire
TV
devices.
“Over
the
past
several
years,
we
have
been
on
a
journey
to
deliver
cloud
gaming
to
more
devices
and
to
more
people
around
the
globe,”
said
Ashley
McKissick.
“We
are
excited
to
add
Fire
TV
to
our
growing
family
of
cloud
gaming
devices
and
eager
to
welcome
new
players
into
this
experience.”

According
to
Xbox,
Game
Pass
Ultimate
subscribers
will
soon
be
able
to
download
an
Xbox
app
on
their
Amazon
Fire
TV
Stick
4K
Max
(2023)
or
Fire
TV
Stick
4K
(2023
and
stream
games
through
it.
Here’s
how
Xbox
describes
the
simplicity
of
the
system:
-
“Simply
install
and
launch
the
Xbox
app
from
your
Fire
TV
device. -
Sign
in
with
your
Microsoft
account
to
play.
If
you’re
an
Xbox
Game
Pass
Ultimate
member,
you’ll
have
instant
access
to
hundreds
of
cloud-enabled
games. -
Not
a
member?
No
worries!
You
can
join
Xbox
Game
Pass
Ultimate
for one
low
monthly
price,
or
check
out Fortnite without
a
membership. -
Connect
a
Bluetooth-enabled
wireless
controller.
Controllers
like
the
Xbox
Wireless
Controller,
Xbox
Adaptive
Controller,
PlayStation
DualSense,
or
DualShock
4
controller
are
all
compatible. -
Start
Playing!”
Speaking
on
its
own
blog,
Amazon
commented
that:
“This
announcement
is
an
extension
of
Amazon’s
commitment
to
bringing
the
best
entertainment
experiences
to
our
customers,
including
top-tier
cloud
gaming
options.
For
casual
gamers
or
those
new
to
the
hobby,
it
provides
an
easy,
low-cost
entry
point
to
explore
the
Xbox
Game
Pass
Ultimate
library.
Hardcore
gamers
can
use
it
as
a
convenient
way
to
play
on
another
TV
or
take
their
games
on
the
go.”
Game
streaming
can
be
pretty
hit
or
miss
and
is,
of
course,
largely
dependent
on
the
strength
of
your
Internet
connection.
Personally,
I
don’t
use
it,
but
I
do
find
the
technology
very
cool
and
the
idea
that
I
could
just
fire
up
a
Fire
TV
stick
and
stream
games
is
solid.
It’ll
be
interesting
to
see
how
many
people
actually
use
it.
