Install Games on Firestick

In this blog, you will come to know the list of the best Firestick games to play in 2023. Amazon Firestick is a streaming device that supports many video games. I have rounded up all the Firestick compatible games that you can play on various Fire TV devices, including FireStick Lite, Fire TV Stick 4K, and Fire TV Cube.

Firestick supports games that are not too demanding graphically. Moreover, you will find both free and paid games for Firestick in this list.

The best thing is that you can play our listed games with or without a Firestick remote and Bluetooth game controllers. However, there are games included that support game controllers only.

Various Firestick games are available on Amazon App Store; you can also sideload a third-party app on Firestick. Before installing a third-party app on Firestick, don’t forget to connect with a VPN; otherwise, your Firestick device might encounter viruses or malware.

How to Install a Game on Firestick

In the first section of this blog, I will help you understand the process of installing a Firestick game.  To install a game on Amazon Firestick from your Amazon App Store, you can follow the two outlined methods:

Search for the game

If you know exactly the game you want to install, you can use this method to search for the particular game. Here’s a step-by-step tutorial to follow this method.

• Open your Firestick Home screen, and select Find, then click on the Search option.

• In the search bar, enter the game’s name that you want to install.

• Click where you see the game icon from the available list.

• If the game is free, click on Download/Get. If the game is paid, add to the cart.

• Now, you will receive a payment option on your Amazon account to complete your game purchase, or you might get a purchase failure error.

That’s it. Follow this method to install a game on Firestick using the search function.

Browse the Games Section of the App Store

In the second method, you can browse the games section of the Amazon App Store using the following steps:

• Again, head to the Firestick Home screen, click on the Find tab, then click the Appstore icon.

• Select where you see the Games submenu.

• You can see different sections, including Retro Zone and Spotlight to discover games.

• Now, you can scroll down to find Game categories like Racing, Action, Casino, puzzles, cards, Board, Arcade, and adventure.

• When you select the game that you want, click to open it. If it’s a paid game, pay for it using your Amazon account.

How to Connect Your Firestick Game Controller?

You can play games on Firestick using your Firestick remote, but the remote is not enough to get you a flawless gaming experience. Therefore, I recommend connecting a Firestick game controller for the perfect gaming pleasure.

Before getting into the game controller setup, ensure that your controller supports the Bluetooth connectivity since wire controllers are not Firestick compatible.

You can either buy a separate gaming controller or install a Bluetooth game controller for Firestick.

Now, let’s understand the method to connect a game controller with Firestick:

• On the Home screen of your Firestick, click where you find the Settings icon.

• Choose Controllers and Bluetooth Devices option.

• You will now see a drop-down menu, select game controllers from that list.

• Click where you see the option for Add New Controller to connect the controller with the Firestick.

Once you’re done with the settings, you can now make your game controller discoverable to connect it with Firestick. If you’re using the Fire TV Game Controller, you can long-press the home button to make it discoverable. You can also follow on-screen instructions on your TV to connect your controller with Firestick.
