Although playing video games with an Xbox Series X/S console is one of the best experiences in gaming, it may not be the best experience for those who lack the space in a home entertainment center. However, there’s a simple solution to start playing Xbox games — like Hi-Fi Rush, “Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II,” “Diablo IV,” “Starfield,” “Forza Horizon 5” and others — without actually owning an Xbox.
Amazon has introduced the Xbox app to the Amazon Appstore, offering access to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for the Fire TV Stick 4K and the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. And for Prime Day, you can save up to 37% on Fire TV Stick 4K (or 4K Max) with Xbox Wireless Controller bundles — for members only.

Here’s how it works: Fire up the Fire TV Stick 4K (or 4K Max) on your TV and go to the Amazon Appstore to download the Xbox app. Once downloaded, open the app and pair an Xbox Wireless Controller via Bluetooth. Now, whenever you turn on the controller, the Xbox app will automatically open when the Fire TV Stick 4K is on. Then, sign up for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $19.99/Month. Think of it like Netflix, but for cloud gaming on the Fire TV Stick 4K — and all without an Xbox console.
If you already have an Xbox Wireless Controller, you can still pick up a Fire TV Stick 4K or Fire TV Stick 4K Max for up to half off for Prime Day. This is still one of the fastest ways to instantly get access to streaming apps, like Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Max, Disney+ and others.
