Amazon is offering everything needed to play Xbox without a console for $69

Amazon has launched a new product bundle offering everything needed to play Xbox for a month for under $70.

While it has been possible to play Xbox games via the cloud on PCs, mobile devices, and select smart TVs and VR headsets for some time, support for the feature was last week extended to some Amazon Fire TV Stick devices.

And as part of its Prime Day deals, Amazon is offering a Fire TV Stick 4K bundled with a white Xbox wireless controller and one month of Game Pass for $68.90.

It says these items would normally cost $109.99 purchased individually, and notes that the Game Pass code included in the deal is only valid for new members.

To stream Xbox games, players have to install and launch the Xbox app from their Fire TV device, sign in with a Microsoft account, sign up for Game Pass Ultimate if they haven’t already and connect a controller to play.

Supported Bluetooth-enabled wireless controllers also include the Xbox Adaptive Controller, and PlayStation’s DualSense and DualShock 4 pads.

Earlier today, Microsoft announced the next batch of titles coming to Xbox Game Pass for console, PC and Xbox Cloud Gaming.

Magical Delicacy and Flock joined the service today. They’ll be followed by Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, Dungeons of Hinterberg, and Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess later this week.
