Now that Microsoft has launched the Xbox app for Fire TV<\/a>, you can play Xbox Game Pass games<\/a> without any extra hardware aside from a Bluetooth controller<\/a> \u2014 no Series X, no Series S, and no very long HDMI cable from your Windows PC to your living room TV required. It\u2019s the future Microsoft has been hinting at<\/a> for years, and now that all things Fire TV are on sale for Amazon\u2019s October Prime Day<\/a>, it\u2019s a great time to embrace the future.<\/p>\n

The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max<\/a> is 42% off for Prime members \u2014 only $34.99, instead of the usual $59.99. The 4K Max supports Wi-Fi 6E and Dolby Atmos, and includes a remote that you can shout \u201cAlexa\u201d into for ease of navigation (it also has normal remote buttons as well). There\u2019s also the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K<\/a> (i.e., not-Max) for $24.99, which is down 50% from its typical price of $49.99). The Fire Stick 4K supports up to Wi-Fi 6.<\/p>\n

To play Xbox games via cloud streaming, you\u2019ll need Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, a subscription that has hundreds of titles and is frequently updated with both first-party titles and some great third-party selections as well \u2014\u00a0like Inscryption<\/em><\/a>, Polygon\u2019s 2021 Game of the Year<\/a> and a perfectly spoopy selection for October. You can pick up 3 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate<\/a> from Amazon for $44.99 (was $49.99) or try just one month<\/a> for $16.99. And, of course, you\u2019ll need that aforementioned Bluetooth controller \u2014\u00a0as luck would have it, the official Xbox wireless controller<\/a> is currently 20% off from Amazon.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re also<\/em> in need of a TV to use, might we suggest the\u00a055-inch LG C4<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 OLED TVs are a Polygon staff favorite \u2014 or the\u00a065-inch Samsung Frame TV<\/a>\u00a0, which is great not just for\u00a0displaying video game art<\/a>.<\/p>\n
