What Fire TV models are compatible with the Xbox Cloud Streaming app?

Looking to buy a new Fire TV for my living room that is compatible with the Xbox app as my current Fire TV in my bedroom says it's incompatible. I wouldn't think I'd have to purchase a Fire Stick 4k Max or whatever if my TV is already a Fire TV-- is that the case, or are there other models that are compatible without a Fire Stick?

Hi Kaissa,

As explained above, keyboard and mouse unfortunately isn’t compatible with Cloud gaming at the moment. There are various controllers that are supported, though.

Refer to this guide:

Cloud gaming with the Xbox app on your smart TV | Xbox Support

which includes a section confirming what controllers are compatible and how to connect a controller to your smart TV

Hope this helps.

Hello NadirGÖZCÜ, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

I understand your surprise. Although cloud gaming is supported on Samsung TVs, there are other options you could consider:

Xbox App on Smart TVs: Microsoft offers cloud gaming through the Xbox app on Smart TVs. However, you should note that you will need a subscription to Game Pass Ultimate or a compatible free game for cloud gaming.

Amazon Luna on Samsung Gaming Hub: Amazon Luna is a cloud gaming service that allows users to play on a variety of devices, including 2023 Samsung TVs.

Blacknut’s Cloud Gaming: This cloud gaming-based subscription service offers unlimited access to gaming content for TV screens.

As for Nvidia Shield, although it is not officially supported by all cloud gaming services, there are some workarounds:

GeForce NOW: Nvidia Shield is compatible with GeForce NOW, a cloud gaming service from Nvidia. Recently, Nvidia announced a new high-end tier for its GeForce Now streaming service, bringing a special benefit to the company's Shield TV device: 4K cloud gaming.

Project xCloud: Some users have managed to run Project xCloud (now known as Xbox Cloud Gaming) on Nvidia Shield via sideloading. However, this method is not officially supported and is done at your own risk.

I hope this information is useful to you. Always remember to check compatibility and system requirements before making a decision.

Best regards.

Hey there!

Unfortunately you would need either a TV or a compatible monitor to enable the streaming settings on the console, only then will you be able to stream your games unto the Xbox App in your laptop.
