For gamers looking for a convenient way to play their favourite Xbox titles, the collaboration between Xbox and Amazon has you covered. Xbox Game Pass subscribers can access and play hundreds of cloud-enabled games directly through the Xbox app on select Fire TV devices.
This integration brings the vast Xbox library to your TV with just a compatible Fire TV Stick or Fire TV Cube and Bluetooth-enabled controller, making gaming more available. From newer titles like Hollow Knight: Silksong to local favourites like Raji: An Ancient Epic, you can experience console-quality gaming through cloud gaming.
How to set up the Xbox app on your Fire TV
Getting started is simple. You’ll need a Fire TV Stick 4K (2nd Generation), Fire TV Stick 4K Plus, or a Fire TV Cube (3rd Gen). These streaming media players start at ₹6,499, making cloud gaming more available than ever before.
Next, download the Xbox app on your Fire TV device via the Amazon Appstore. Once you install and open the app, you’ll be prompted to sign in with your Microsoft account. If you're already an Xbox Game Pass Essential, Premium, or Ultimate subscriber, you'll have instant access to stream and play any of the hundreds of titles in the Game Pass library or select cloud playable games that you own or buy. The Game Pass library varies across plans, by region, and device.
Not a member yet? You can sign up for Xbox Game Pass through the app for a monthly subscription starting at ₹499.
Then, all you have to do is connect a compatible Bluetooth controller (to be purchased separately from the Fire TV device) and you’re ready to start gaming! The Xbox Wireless Controller, Xbox Adaptive Controller, DualSense or DualShock 4 controllers all work seamlessly. Once connected, you're all set!
Why should you choose to play with Xbox Game Pass on Fire TV?
One of the biggest benefits of cloud gaming is the ability to play premium games without needing a console. The Fire TV Stick may be compact, but it can stream and run graphically intense Xbox games like Ninja Gaiden 4.
This portability also means you can easily move your cloud gaming setup from the living room TV to a different room or even take it on the road. As long as you have a stable internet connection, your compatible Fire TV Stick or Fire TV Cube, and a compatible controller, you can take your Xbox Game Pass games and saved game progress with you.
More choice for gamers
This collaboration 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 entry point to explore the Xbox Game Pass library. Hardcore gamers can also use it as a convenient way to play games on the go with Fire TV.
This increased availability and flexibility provides an ideal jumping-on point for anyone looking to see what the buzz around cloud gaming is all about.
