Amazon has teamed up with Microsoft to integrate Xbox cloud gaming into Fire TV devices. Starting in July, owners of the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2023) and Fire TV Stick 4K (2023) can enjoy top video game titles like Starfield, Fallout 4, and Forza Horizon 5 through an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, available in India for Rs 549 per month.
In their press release, Amazon highlighted that this collaboration would allow users to access the extensive Game Pass Ultimate library on their televisions via compatible Fire TV Stick devices, paired with a Bluetooth gaming controller. The goal is to provide a console-quality gaming experience. Moreover, the service supports not only Xbox controllers, such as the Xbox Wireless Controller and Xbox Adaptive Controller, but also PlayStation controllers like the DualSense and DualShock 4.
