News - Cloud gaming is expanding to Amazon Fire TV.

In a significant move for gaming technology, Xbox has expanded its cloud gaming capabilities to include additional Amazon Fire TV models, notably the Fire TV 4-Series and the Fire TV Omni QLED Series. This expansion allows users to engage with Xbox games directly on their televisions, eliminating the need for physical consoles or even additional streaming devices like the Fire TV stick. To access this service, players must have an active subscription to Xbox Game Pass, which ranges from $10 to $30 per month, depending on the chosen plan. In addition to the subscription, a compatible wireless controller is necessary; however, most Bluetooth-enabled gamepads should suffice for seamless gameplay. The feature is comprehensive, covering every game available on the Game Pass platform. It also provides an exciting 'stream your own game' feature, which permits streaming of several titles that users already own. Although this feature does not support every title, it extends to hundreds of games, offering significant flexibility and choice. Amazon has shared plans to extend this innovative functionality to more TV models over time. The integration with select Amazon streaming devices, introduced earlier this year, has paved the way for this recent expansion. Given that Fire TVs and Amazon's streaming sticks operate on the same operating system, expanding cloud gaming capabilities to include Fire TV is a strategic and user-centric progression.
