Most people use their Fire TV Stick exclusively for streaming Netflix, Prime Video, and the rest of the best streaming services. But there’s a hidden feature that turns it into something completely different: a cloud gaming console that plays full AAA games without needing an Xbox, PlayStation, or gaming PC.
I discovered this by accident when I was desperately craving my Fallout fix since Season 2 ended. I’d recently replayed New Vegas and wanted to dive back into Fallout 4 for what would be my umpteenth playthrough. I tried Xbox Cloud Gaming, but it refused to work properly on my not-so-great internet connection. Then I stumbled onto Amazon Luna, a cloud gaming service built directly into Fire TV that I’d completely overlooked.
