The Xbox TV app is officially available on Amazon Fire sticks.

Microsoft and Amazon announced the collaboration last month, but as of July 8, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members will now be able to download the Xbox app on select Fire TV devices and gain access to tons of cloud-supported games, no console required.

The app, which can also support a number of Bluetooth devices, will be available only for the Fire TV Stick 4K Max and the Fire TV Stick 4K. To get started, users will need to download the Xbox app on your Fire TV device via the Amazon app store and once installed, sign in with their Microsoft account.

If they’re already a member, they’ll get instant access to stream and play any games featured in the Game Pass Ultimate library, including Starfield and Sea of Thieves, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, and many more.

For more detailed step-by-step instructions, you can read the handy guide provided by Microsoft below:

How to get started with the Xbox app:

Connect a Bluetooth-enabled wireless controller. Controllers like the Xbox Wireless Controller, Xbox Adaptive Controller, PlayStation DualSense Wireless Controller, or DualShock 4 controller are all compatible.
