The Xbox games offer a stellar gaming experience, but not everyone can afford a console. Thankfully, Amazon has collaborated with Microsoft to roll out the Xbox Game Pass on the Amazon Appstore.
This means that now you can play popular Xbox games such as Diablo IV, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, Forza Horizon 5, and Starfield on your FireStick with just a controller.
However, for now, the Xbox Game Pass only supports two Fire TV models – the Fire TV Stick 4K Max 2nd generation and Fire TV Stick 4K 2nd generation.
