Summary
Say whatever you want about the modern world, but it contains plenty of wonderful technology. Okay, we don’t yet have the flying cars that plenty of sci-fi shows promised we’d have by this point, but we have plenty of other cool stuff. For example, you can now play Xbox games without an Xbox. This is because you can use the Xbox Game Pass service through anAmazonFire Stick.
This is a fairly recent feature that has been added to the Fire Stick, so you may not have tried it out yet. If so, now might be the time to do so, as Amazon is currently having a deal on Fire Sticks. The 4K version is down to $25, which is a saving of 50 percent. The 4K Max one is currently 42 percent off, meaning it’s down to $35. no date has been given for when the deal will end, but it is labeled as a ‘limited time deal,’ so it likely won’t last too long.
There isn’t a huge difference between the 4K and 4K Max Fire Sticks. They function in the same way. However, the 4K Max version is more powerful. It offers Wi-Fi 6E instead of Wi-Fi 6, and it also generally runs better. Plus, the 4K Max one has 16 GB storage instead of 8 GB.
You Don’t Need An Xbox To Play Xbox Games
Amazon Fire Stick
The Amazon Fire Stick is a device that you can use to watch all sorts of TV shows and movies. You can even play games on it through Xbox Game Pass.
We actually havea guide on using Xbox Game Pass on an Amazon Fire Stick. The basics, though, is that you need to have an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, and you must download the Xbox app onto your Fire Stick. Game Pass contains a litany of different games, so there is plenty of play. However, you should note that only the cloud-enabled titles on the service are playable on a Fire Stick. This includes games like Halo Infinite, Fallout 4, Forza Horizon 5, and many more.
Of course, Xbox Game Pass isn’t the only thing that the Amazon Fire Stick provides. If it were, then those people who owned a Fire Stick for several years before you could use Game Pass with it would be very upset by now. You can also download all sorts of apps on the device, including various streaming ones. So, you can watch countless amounts of TV shows and movies with this stick, but you will need accounts on the various streaming apps to make use of them. If you have the accounts already, then the Fire Stick can serve as a sort of hub for both your gaming and TV-watching needs.
