Game Pass Cloud streaming officially available on Amazon Fire TV

Last month, Amazon announced a partnership with Microsoft/Xbox to bring Game Pass to its Fire TV Sticks via cloud streaming. Said to be coming some time in July, the Xbox Game Pass app is now officially available.

Following the announcement last month that the Xbox Game Pass app would be coming to Amazon’s latest Fire TV sticks (2023’s 4K and 4K Max models) sometime this month, the official Game Pass app is now available.

As mentioned, given the relatively weak power of the Fire TV Stick, it is only able to access Game Pass via streaming, and so expect varying results depending on your internet / region.

The Fire TV app marks the second partnership of its kind with regards to Game Pass, as the application has been available on modern Samsung TVs for quite some time.

With Microsoft cancelling its previous plans for a cloud-based console, expanding its Game Pass app to as many different smart hubs as possible makes a great deal of sense.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
