Nvidia's GeForce Now cloud gaming service launched on Amazon Fire TV devices today, transforming Fire TV sticks into PC gaming hubs. The native app eliminates sideloading requirements for accessing PC games on television screens.
Amazon Fire TV customers can now stream over 4,000 PC games through the GeForce Now app, connecting to existing Steam, Epic Games Store, and Battle.net libraries. The service requires only a Bluetooth controller and stable internet connection to access RTX-powered gaming performance.
Compatible devices include the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus (2nd Gen), Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd Gen), and Fire TV Stick 4K Max (1st Gen). These models must run Fire OS 8.1.6.0 or later for second-generation devices, or Fire OS 7.7.1.1 for first-generation hardware.
Streaming quality tops out at 1080p resolution with 60 frames per second on Fire TV platforms, using standard dynamic range visuals and H.264 video encoding. This represents a compromise from GeForce Now's maximum 5K resolution and 360fps capabilities available on other platforms.
Nvidia originally announced the Fire TV expansion at CES 2026 in January, alongside a native Linux app that launched January 29. The company describes the move as "powering up the living room with PC-quality performance" for big-screen gaming.
Users can access the service through a free membership or upgrade to paid tiers. The $9.99 Priority tier provides six hours of 1440p gaming at 60fps, while the $19.99 Ultimate tier unlocks RTX 5080-level performance. Both paid tiers are subject to a 100-hour monthly playtime limit that took effect January 1, 2026.
The Fire TV app joins GeForce Now's expanding platform lineup, which includes Windows, Linux, macOS, Chromebooks, gaming handhelds, smartphones, and smart TVs. Nvidia continues to position its cloud service against competitors like Amazon's Luna and Microsoft's Xbox Cloud Gaming, both already available on Fire TV devices.
Disciples: Domination and REANIMAL are both optimized for RTX 5080 hardware. The additions coincide with GeForce Now's sixth anniversary celebrations, marking continued expansion of the cloud gaming library.
Nvidia has not confirmed whether the app will extend to cheaper, non-4K Fire TV sticks or built-in Fire TV smart televisions. Current support focuses on streaming sticks with sufficient processing power to handle cloud gaming demands without performance degradation.
