Those subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate can now use Xbox’s cloud services on on Fire TV Stick 4K Max as well as the Fire TV Stick 4K. Similarly to the support on Samsung smart TVs, users will require an active Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership and a Bluetooth-enabled wireless controller.

As of now, Xbox Cloud Gaming is only supported on the two aformentioned Fire TV Stick devices. In Canada, the base Fire Stick 4K device is available for $69.99. However, Prime Day 2024 is just around the corner. There’s always a possibility that Amazon may end up putting its Fire TV Stick 4K Max and Fire TV Stick 4K on sale during that time.

Xbox Cloud Gaming offers cloud accessto a number of Xbox titles that are included in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. While using their Amazon Fire TV device, players can jump into games like Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, Starfield, Sea of Thieves, Forza Horizon 5, and many others.

Adding to its repertoire of supported devices, Xbox’s goal of “play anywhere” continues to grow. Using an Amazon Fire Stick device, players can easily have access to many Xbox Game Pass Ultimate titles and perks in another room of their home or while travelling. For the best experience, it’s typically recommended that 10Mbps or a 5Ghz Wi-Fi connection is used while playing.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is available for $18.99 per month in Canada.
