No sooner than I’d written a piece on Xbox ditching its own streaming device, where I suggested it partnered withAmazontoadd Xbox Cloud Gaming to Fire TV devices, than I got notification that Amazon has partnered with Xbox to… well, you get the picture.
Life has a funny way of doing that sort of thing sometimes.
Owners of the latestAmazon Fire TV Stick 4K MaxandFire TVStick 4K models can now download an Xbox app from the Amazon Appstore and connect withMicrosoft’s cloud gaming platform.
All you need is an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription and a compatible Bluetooth controller and away you go. And, with Game Pass available for just £1 / $1 for the first 14 days, you can try it before having to pay the full fee.

Xbox Cloud Gaming gives you access to 100s of Xbox games, some of which among the very best available today. The library is regularly updated to include new titles, with all of Xbox Game Studios' own releases added on the same day as the general release.
That includes the likes ofStarfield,Forza Motorsport, and the recently-releasedSenua’s Sage: Hellblade II. There are plenty of third-party games added from launch, too.
As with Amazon’s own Luna service, which is also available on Fire TV, Xbox Cloud Gaming uses a myriad of data centres around the world that host the games, so bar the Xbox app you don’t need to download anything else.

Your controller codes go in one direction over the internet, while video of the gameplay comes back the other way. Latency is dramatically reduced in comparison with other similar platforms released over the years, and is getting better all the time.
Indeed, it is hard to tell when a game is being played over the cloud these days.
Prior to the Amazon tie-in, Xbox Cloud Gaming was only available on Microsoft’s own consoles, computers, mobile devices, andSamsungSmart TVs.
Hopefully, this latest partnership is a sign of the service expanding to otherstreaming deviceswe already have in our homes.
