Just over a month ago, Amazon and Microsoft reached an agreement to bring the Game Pass experience to Fire TV, the streaming devices for televisions. After a short wait, the application is now available for download on Fire TV Sticks.
For now, only those who are subscribed to Game Pass Ultimate, the option with the most advantages, will be able to enjoy this service, but also the most expensive. In addition, you will also need to have the Fire TV Stick 4K (2023) or the Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2023). Luckily, Microsoft has hinted that compatibility will be opened to more devices in the near future.
Finally, you will need one last thing: a compatible wireless controller. Luckily, you have many options available, from official Xbox controllers to DualSense or DualShock controllers from PlayStation, and even third-party ones. However, you must keep in mind that the games are run from the cloud, so having a good internet connection is very important (practically indispensable).
Game Pass Ultimate is one of the best video game services available today. It allows us to play many titles from the day of their release, in addition to having a catalog full of great games: EA Sports FC 24, Forza Horizon 5, Minecraft, Starfield… the list is quite long. Game Pass Ultimate also gives us access to online multiplayer mode and even an additional subscription to EA Play, the service of Electronic Arts.
The release of the Fire TV app has made many users ask themselves: is it really necessary to have an Xbox console to be able to play Microsoft’s catalog? Although many praise this move by the company, the truth is that having an Xbox is no longer essential for many.
