The Fire tablet is useful for Xbox's remote play environment or verified in the new "Fire HD 10" series

I install the Xbox app on all devices at home, with Android smartphones, iPads, and Android apps that can install Android apps, and use them as a Remote play environment of Xbox Series X.However, recently, I have found that Xbox apps that can be installed on the Fire tablet also support Xbox remote play.I did not know that…….Therefore, I used the latest "Fire HD 10" series released in May to verify whether it can be used as a remote play environment.

Remote play with the Xbox application is a function that allows you to play games installed on the main unit from smart devices such as smartphones and tablets with Xbox apps for Android/iOS.If you pair the device and the game controller with a Bluetooth or connect it with a USB cable, you can play the game as a display on the device screen.It is useful in my home because the game console itself can be played in another room without occupying the TV screen in the living room while placing it in the living room.

The Fire tablet is equipped with an Android -based Fire OS, and to install the app, you need to install it from Amazon's unique Amazon app store instead of Google Play. The number and types of apps handled in the Amazon app store are limited to Google Play, so I didn't think I could install the Xbox app. On the other hand, in conjunction with the launch of the new model of Fire HD 10 in May, Microsoft has launched "Office" and "Microsoft Teams" at the Amazon app store, and in Windows 11, which will be released in late 2021, the Amazon application store. Microsoft and Amazon are deepening cooperation, with the announcement that the Android app will be installed on Windows. I checked that Xbox and Fire tablet could be linked ... and found that remote play was possible.

The new model of the Fire HD 10 released in May is the same as the previous model..Equipped with a 0GHz octacore processor, the RAM capacity has been enhanced from 2GB to 3GB of the previous model.The start and processing of the app are high -speed.Ten.The 1 -inch 1080p full HD display is 10 % brighter than the previous model, and the battery can be used for up to 12 hours.The storage capacity is 32GB/64GB, which can be expanded to 1TB with a microSD card.

When I started Remote Play from the Xbox app installed on the new model of Fire HD 10, I think that it would be affected by the quality of the Wi-Fi line, but I enjoyed a smooth and delayed game play.The 10 -inch large screen is easier to read and comfortable to read on the screen than when playing on a smartphone.I played with the previous model's Fire HD 10, but sometimes block noise is generated on the screen and gorgeous, so in the new model of 2GB and 3GB of RAM capacity, streaming like this.It seems that the difference in performance appears in the game played in.

The Fire HD 10 new model has a lineup of a model "Fire HD 10 Plus", which enhances the RAM capacity to 4GB.After playing here, you can enjoy a more stable and smooth gameplay.

Fire HD 10 Plus is a major feature that it can be used like a smart display "Echo Show" while charging it by placing it on a wireless charging stand sold separately.If you combine the Fire HD 10 and the tablet stand, you can use it as a smart display in the same way, but the combination of "Fire HD 10 Plus + wireless charging stand" that can improve performance and charge wireless charging is not very attractive.Is not it.

This time, I evaluated Fire HD 10 as a remote play terminal, assuming that it has an Xbox itself, but the conclusion is that it can be asserted that "RAM has never been better".。Currently, in Japan, the cloud gaming service "PROJECT XCLOUD", which is now available for Android devices, is scheduled to be officially released as "Xbox Cloud Gaming", and will be able to play Xbox games on browsers on PCs and iOS devices.Become.It is unknown whether the SILK browser of the Fire tablet corresponds, but if Xbox cloud gaming is integrated into a Xbox application for smart devices, the Fire tablet may be an active in the future as a cloud gaming device.。I would like to pay attention to future trends.

Postscript: Readers provided information by tweet.In areas where overseas cloud gaming services are provided, Xbox cloud gaming is integrated in the Android version of "Xbox Game Pass" app.The Xbox Game Pass app is also distributed in the Amazon app store, so it is likely that Xbox cloud gaming will be available on the Fire tablet when the official service starts in Japan.
