I bought the 4K Max, use it mainly for Xbox. Works great, playing games like Forza, Halo etc with no lag at all. No Console and using my old Stadia Controller. In UK.
@Hasman12 Stadia Controller works great, only issue I have is that I need to pair everytime but could be because the kids flick the TV between Amazon and actual TV without closing the app
For those out there, you got the Fire TV cube you can actually put Xbox on there too, but you got a sideloaded. I have a Fire TV cube third generation and I got Xbox on there as well.
I own an Xbox but I was curious about the firestick as a 'back up' for certain games. Thanks for the video. Also, the lag isn't a matter of being wired or wireless. There's input lag because the game is hosted on the cloud & streaming to your device. It's not natively installed on the Firestick. So while internet speed does play a factor, you should be good with as little as 30mbps speeds. These days, internet plans start you off at about 300mbps.
Honestly this makes the price hike worth it. I mean could keep my physical console in my bedroom and have a "digital" console in each room lol hell might even sneak one into the hdmi at work 😅
I think this is a good option for someone who cant afford an xbox console. But if you own a console I dont see the point in spending an extra 20/month to play only the games thats on the cloud when remote players work fine and you can play pretty much whatever you want. But as an xbox series owner, im turned off by the extra money having to spend on game pass ultimate just to cloud game on a firestick.
One more detail: to play games on Game Pass on day one, you have to pay for Ultimate. You can't do it with the standard version anymore. So, even if you don't have a console, you're practically forced to get the Ultimate version to play on day one.
It's not really a detail he forgot to mention cause the only way to play those games on the firestick is subscribing to gamepass ultimate...having any of the lower tiers would not allow you to play on the firestick so day 1 options would not be available to those people anyway.
Now i m jealous of this new fire tv stick . WTF any controller i get play with my favorite controller 360 holy sh*t . WTF transfer account on fire tv stick bro making me wanna buy it .
13:33 i think that is kinda impossible, because doing a subscription that gives you both: games and access to the cloud it always be kinda expensive And as proof i can tell you that ps plus premium on latam american is 13 dollars while on America is 18 the discrepancy on price is basically because ps now (ps3 games) and ps4/5 cloud games are not available on latam American so the subscription got pretty cheap just because of that In short cloud gaming and access to a lot of games makes for an expensive subscription like the new gamepass ultimate or the ps plus premium (American version)
In the Xbox Game Pass app. There's 3 locations, PC, Console & Cloud. Whatever you see on the cloud will be playable on the Stick. That's almost everything.
@@Marcthegeek even though I don't care for xbox game pass I'm a roku user/lover but would you recommend getting an amazon fire tv/cube I mean with roku and fire tv I can have the best of both worlds right?
Tb be fair, cloud gaming been around for 10 years + it's just it's been really refined within the past 4-5 years and Xbox has the reach to take the concept mainstream and a serious alternative to physical console ownership.
This is for people who own the Amazon fire stick you don’t need it to play game pass games if you own the Xbox one or Xbox series X or iPad iPhone or a PC I use my PC and Xbox series X those are the most powerful and best way to play these games streaming sucks

Well, this is due to your Internet. If you have cheap Internet, you’re not gonna get a good experience. I have T-Mobile home Internet and I don’t have no lag issues whatsoever on my Fire TV cube but then again my box is capable of pushing out Wi-Fi 6E the maximum speed possible You can’t blame Microsoft for you having cheap Internet. You have to have good Internet or you’re not gonna be able to play this properly and then it also depends on how many people are on the Internet in your household. It doesn’t bother me because I mainly play from my cell phone and my 5G is awesome so I don’t have to be on the Wi-Fi at my home to push 300 MB download speeds
@@GustavoFil350 I noticed that the time of day impacts performance. If I go on around 6pm it’s pretty bad, but after 9pm things get a lot better. I think this is just something that comes with Cloud Gaming. It will take some time for it gives you the same performance as a physical console. But at this price point it’s acceptable. Thanks for the advice man 👊
I want to credit another reviewer but I cannot remember or find where I heard it from looking at my history but basically the number was like xbox could have released 150 AAA titles for the price they paid to acquire activision. Since then there were massive layoffs and now increase in gamepass subscription(starting Septmember) that you are paying more for less. Even the FTC are thrashing them for charging you more for less. I wanted xbox to succeed but I can't support their business practices...only shining moment for them recently is them rebuking DEI 🤣
You can play the digital games you own on your xbox through remote play...not sure why the big console makers don't promote that but xbox and Playstation have remote play that they barely talk about as a feature...probably because it's free.😄
You answered your question and you questioned your own question. Do you fire on all cylinders are only half your brain works. You can only play games that are on Game Pass. If they’re not on Game Pass, you can’t play it. You answered your own question but you questioned yourself too.😂😂😂😂

If you're into the emulation and hacking scene you can easily sideload the xbox app on ANY firestick...even the firestick lite which you can get for about $18 these days...we've had it for over 4 yrs now.
@@Marcthegeek Why would that be horrible? Isn't it like youtube but with only remote controls added? It's streaming right. You can stream a 4k Video in youtube if you have 25 Mbps connection. That's not a very big requirement. So even if it's uncompressed video, you should be fine with 50 Mbps connection for at least 2k gaming. Problem is not with connection. Problem of resolution is there coz of hardware which Microsoft is using to stream those games. They are using Series S boxes for streaming these games. That's why it's limited to FHD mostly.
Streaming Videos on TH-cam is never the same as Streaming a Video Game. When you are watching a video in 4K, you are not inputting commands like you would be when playing a video game. The higher the Video Game Quality, the higher the Input Lags people will encounter depending on the Internet speeds. Thanks for sharing your input.
@@Marcthegeek Why is it dependent on resolution? Suppose I am playing a racing game. So when I press any button, how is it tied with resolution? My button press will be linked with certain aspect of game, which shouldn't be linked with resolution. Something is not adding up in this game streaming scenario..
I don’t have controller lag on my Fire TV cube. What are you talking about? You know the leg all depending on your Internet right if you got cheap Internet because you’re a cheap bitch you’re gonna have problems. I don’t have lag issues. I game stream all the time that’s all I do I don’t have lag issues😂😂😂 but then again I’m not a cheap bitch and I got good Internet. I’m not a cheap bitch. I got a real good controller.
They can't really mess up something they have no control over. It's an Amazon product, amazon is the only one that can determine what's allowed on THEIR hardware... furthermore, it's Bluetooth...are you saying xbox should now somehow make a proprietary Bluetooth connection for their accessories? I remember apple used to think that way and they got reemed about it for yrs, now they have loosened their reigns and have made more money than ever because of it...use your head buddy.
As soon as the fire tv stick 4K went on sale I bought it off of Amazon immediately I got one just to play Xbox games
How is it? Is the input lag bad?

Exactly. People tend to forget that there's a massive infrastructure behind cloud and streaming.
