I got it today - works great. Thea idea is for the wife & kids to use it, when I am at work. My Series X was looking at me strange though, when I approached the tv with that tiny fire stick...
@@GuffFromfortnite__ Good question for Gamepass? Read the fineprint. With 1,000 games I bet theres a limit. Luna only has 100+ so no storage limit saved on the cloud with the same game progress save capability.
Planning on running an ethernet using an adapter straight to the firestick to see if its much of a difference. I have a VR router only that when plugged to the firestick gets about 300+mbs so im assuming its the latency that's killing it. Hoping ethernet fixes the issues
I was thinking of getting it but decided to keep my backbone and Xbox wired IOS dongle to play on the iPad with wired no latency and I love it. I hated the bluetooth on Apple TV when I added it on it made the screen a bit blurry and controller was laggy and all over the place. I would recommend backbone or anything that can be wired to the pc or tablet or phone.
Yeah, I haven’t decided if I’m gonna set this up on my Fire TV cube which is possible you just have to sign loaded on there. I’ve been doing side loading for years, but I also got the files to put the full Google play store on my fire cube as well or fire stick
Yah teach me too! 😅How do you get the Play store on Fire?! I heard theres ways but its risky, you could brick your device? Just sideloading a few apps is nice if you know the safest way?
Well, that's my question answered halfway through the video. My son plays various different titles on our Xbox console, but I pretty much exclusively play Forza Horizon 5, so if the FH5 gameplay shown in the video is as "clean" as it gets, I think I'll sit back until the latency issues are ironed out a bit more. Too bad. I was really looking forward to shopping around for & trying some of 8BitDo's newer wireless controllers, too...😅
Curious if you know anything about the possibility of setting up a wireless Bluetooth mic to be able to talk in a party with friends online while in cloud gaming through the fire stick?
Does anyone know of blue tooth dual controllers we can use with android tv just for free games that come with the tv. That come with Netflix. And. Luna etc.
Yes! theres literally thousands of great BT controllers on the market now. Dual?? Xbox, PS, and most 3rd party BT controllers work good to great with Luna apps and games in the $30 range just keyword search on AMZ, dont even need the official Luna controller, but thats ones guaranteed compatible and has builtin microphone etc.
I don't know why but I'm feeling like I need to buy a Fire TV Stick. But I already have multiple Xbox's and a ROG Ally which can already do Cloud streaming.
Sounds like a setup like this wouldn't get much use, then. Can't speak for you, but if I were in your situation, I'd only ever utilize XCloud gaming to entertain my son on long drives, on flights, during hotel stays, or if I found myself with a 30+ minute wait for some reason. I definitely don't view this as a replacement for my console, but it'd make for a great "casual gaming" setup in the bedroom, if you only had the one console setup.
@@Chimp_Handzee I dont know about that. If you compare prices across the half dozen cloud gaming apps, Luna has them all beat on price at $10/mo and simplicity, with free Prime Gaming! Gamepass is a bonus. Its perfect for the casual gamer who likes to play a lot of various games and not buy each one! Even the deals are way better than Xbox with sales as low as $2 and you can save for PC play too. Not like Gamepass bs.
Any idea of Xbox app has issue with Dolby vision TVs? The games load and I can hear them but it’s always green screen. About to move it to another tv and test but disappointment so far as its not working on my bigger gaming tv. I use Xbox cloud gaming on my steam deck but was looking for a tv solution without having to buy an Xbox as I mostly play on PS.
Thank you for the video though of this Xbox cloud streaming service on the fire stick you were the first one out here that I seen that actually did this. Thank you but I’ll probably use my Fire TV cube and just do what I used to do on my other android systems and stuff since it’s got a Wi-Fi adapter and more powerful hardware it’ll stream better why they didn’t put Game Pass on here. There’s only one reason Luna because when I set my Fire TV cube up yesterday, they were hard-core pushing Luna, which to me stupid since Microsoft working deals out with Amazon like this what they need to do is they need to bring out a special edition fire cube Xbox themed make it look like a miniseries X.
No it was just meant to sell a lower price device to the masses that could handle the Gamepass demands. They recently rolled it out to the other AMZ devices even the very old 2nd gen Cube, so was a shady marketing strategy 😅
@Woodkin007 Thats terrible should be fine..are you in the suburbs/country? If not try routher and ethernet tweaks. If not gotta be Xbox server issue. FYI they have the highest demand for customer speed at 20 mbps! Luna only requires 10 mpbs and surveys you after EVERY gaming session with a THOROUGH survey to improve service! 😳 Gamepass only wants your input as thumbs up or thumbs down. THAT tells you EVERYTHING about their customer service attitude 🤦
This video is miss labeled...this is for just the firestick 4k max and firestick 4k. NOT fire tv's...yes, amazon has actual fire tv's that alot of people have been complaining that it isn't available...that should be clarified in a tutorial video.... Aside from that, those of us tuned into the emulation scene have been putting the xbox app on ANY firestick for several years now just by sideloading it, which is very simple and it works just the same... the difference now is that it's officially available on the amazon app store.
The biggest drawback for me, or at least I can't figure it out, is that you can't use a headset with it (I used wired by plugging it in the controller. 3 different headsets) How do you guys play with headsets?
1gb down and 250Mbps up. Performance on the fire tv is still not as good as pc app or steam deck or ally yet. Hit and miss on games. Will be keeping an eye out and making updated videos as needed
You can use cloud for xbox on almost any device. Alot of devices still work alot better than the fire tv stick right now. But of course a local series x will look and play much better vs cloud.
@@xboxreforged Alright well idk if it's worth it to buy a Series X 4 years after release so I might just be stuck with PS5 until late 2026 or something. I'll also have the Nintendo Switch 2 though. I just want to maximize my game access & also my new TV I bought 2 years ago. Idk if it's worth trying out with cloud gaming but I might try it.
Yah so crazy how all these streaming devices, tvs, android box, sticks can ALL use the full Play store, but nearly all BLOCK 90% of the apps to an Android device! They're all closed systems to some degree 😆💩
Well, your connection quality is due to your Internet speed and if your modem is not capable of Wi-Fi, you’re not gonna get the best connection possible to stream stream on multiple other devices, but they all have Wi-Fi 6E adapters
Yea fully updated. Games are still hot and miss and even at its best the fire tv stick doesn’t work as well as xcloud in my pc app, steam deck or rog ally. Hopefully some more updates will handle it.
I don’t own an Xbox or any Xbox games but if I go out and buy the fire stick 4k controller and 1 month of game pass ultimate I can play all the games for free or do I need to purchase them after paying for the game pass ultimate?
@tashaadams5780 you don't need an Xbox. I just bought the fire stick but before all I had was my phone and a controller and you can play all the game pass games free. I always play skyrim on my phone
From covering cloud on another channel for the past 5 years I know a lot of people who do not buy local hardware like PC and Console for gaming. They strictly play on cloud with XCloud and GeForce NOW. It still needs work and wont be for everyone. But its yet another way for Microsoft to grow the base. Scoop up players who will never buy the local hardware but will sub up and stream the games
Why didn't they just update the old ones as well? We all know the truth on that one, Amazon wants to make more sales, I already own 6 Firesticks, I won't buy another just for this reason. Nice try Amazon.
Unfortunately no pc version of MLB. You need console or cloud. It works surprisingly well on Xbox Cloud. Games are very hit and miss on performance but that one for two years has worked great for me here.

Have u tried turning off hdr or at least adaptive? Otherwise it tried to force hdr on an app that doesn’t have it. At least it seemed that way for me.
Sir, what about those countries where xbox gamepass is not officially available 🤕?, can we connect VPN of firestick?
May be able to connect im not sure but if you fo input lag is probably gonna make it unplayable to at way.
Literally yes

Can you still use your wireless turtle beach headphones for use in communication in a party
How do you create or join parties? Im not seeing an option.
If I hit the xbox button on controller brings up an xbox menu with friends and party chat.
We have 35mbs, and when its just me in the house, the games still struggle. I mean its definitely getting there, but internet just isnt fast enough.

can you extract it to an apk file and upload to drive?

i have the fire tv 4k, but te app shows me that it´s not compatible
mine says unavailable? not sure why because Luna+ works fine
Mine says unavailable also. I guess it’s only for fire sticks not fire Tvs
You may have the older tv 4k
Need the new 4k max
Does it support controller rumble?
I cannot wait for this lol😂
Can I play this in place of an Xbox Series X like with performance?

2023 4k and 2023 4k Max fire stick only no word if it's coming to ther Fire devices
Can you hard wire your tv with ethernet and play or is the fire stick strictly wifi only?
Can be wifi or ETH
Was your firestick completely updated? Heard there’s latency issues if not

Bluetooth controller it's ok ?
You didn’t watch the video ?
It would be more awesome if you can play your purchased digital games without a Game Pass Ultimate suscription in the future!
If you bought the game, then nothing is stopping you from playing it without gamepass.

Phil Spenser and Microsoft said that feature is coming by the end of 2024..
Is there a way to use it on older sticks?
Someone has to side load it and share it.
Hey Lono! 👍
Do you have to have an Xbox tho
What resolution is the streaming ? 1080p or 4k?
Xbox Cloud Gaming is capped at 1080p 60fps
Im not sure i understand what the benefit of this could be for anyone other than amazon & Microsoft

Depends the specifications in your tv
Nice
Can we download games i dont want to rent
It's cloud gaming, you can't download
Are all the games free on gamepass ultimate or do I have to buy games after buying the ultimate game pass??
@@tashaadams5780 free to play for 31 days then u pay again
Technically you can with Amz mobile games and Luna games for PC!
consoles will not be used in the future thats almost a fact
Hey bro, send it to us and try it on Android TV
so the app is it called xbox game pass?
Just Xbox as far as I can tell
Why didn't they just update the old ones as well? We all know the truth on that one, Amazon wants to make more sales, I already own 6 Firesticks, I won't buy another just for this reason. Nice try Amazon.
Should have used Ethernet
There is no ethernet port on the fire stick to do that
maybe XBOX will disappear
NEVER!!!! 🤣
wow the lag i really rather play this on an actual xbox or pc or steam deck
Unfortunately no pc version of MLB. You need console or cloud. It works surprisingly well on Xbox Cloud. Games are very hit and miss on performance but that one for two years has worked great for me here.
