Today, Xbox announced a collaboration with Amazon to bring Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) to select Amazon Fire TV devices. Starting in July, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members in over 25 countries will be able to play games directly from the Xbox app on select Amazon Fire TV devices through cloud gaming, bringing more ways to play Xbox on more devices and enjoy your favorite games.
