If you're here, you want to play XDefiant without a console or PC, and while it may be simple for some... others may need to order a few things:
- Grab your Fire TV or Fire Stick 4K (Max)
- Grab your favorite controller or get the Luna Controller which works through your router or bluetooth.
- Use the TV speakers, a pair of headphones, or soundbar
- Go to... the Luna App on your Fire TV or in your Fire Stick 4K
Dive in... and get access to XDefiant and many other games without an additional monthly fee beyond your Amazon Prime subscription.
Having the Fire Stick 4K certainly opens more doors because you have access to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, but... outside of that, I had to write this article because access to console quality gaming has never been easier. Sure we had TV's back in the day that had boxes containing little games (remember the ones in the hotels back in the day you weren't allowed to spend money on?), but... come on son! That's not the same, you can literally just turn on the telly and join gamers from other platforms to get in some game time.
I met a few gamers last week who were leaving work, and they were ready to get in some game time to round out their night. We chopped it up for about 10 to 15 minutes after they spoke about Call of Duty and Battlefield. Now you know... that caught my attention, and I had to ask them if they've ever played XDefiant. After that conversation, let's just say they were going to give it a whirl. Imagine the person who would love to play but they're left out because they don't have a console or PC?
Streaming has been around for awhile now (I was an Onlive user for the duration), but... Amazon is opening doors that I can't help but give props too. The games I owned on Onlive, disappeared with the platform, and while Amazon is much more stable than that company was... you don't have to worry about your stats and gear disappearing in XDefiant if it ever leaves Amazon Luna. Since it's tied to your Ubisoft account, just like your other games you can stream for free through Luna, you can pick up and play... elsewhere without skipping a beat (no starting over).
Overall, It's easier to get someone to consider a game when they find out that all they really need is a controller and an affordable streaming stick to get even more out of their Amazon Prime account, and the deal on the Amazon Luna Controller is a great way to get started.
For Prime Day, the Luna Controller is... 43% off ($39.99), and you can still do an $8/month payment plan on it, just like the Fire TV Stick 4K Max.
By the way, don't miss out on the free games being served up during prime day, one of which is... Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. So on that note, grab some games, power on your controller and... Game on!
