Game Controller Basics

The Amazon Fire game controller (sold separately) is a wireless game controller that can be

used to play games and access GameCircle with your Amazon Fire TV. The Amazon Fire

game controller can also be used as a remote, allowing you to access your movies, TV shows,

games, and apps.

Before you can use the Amazon Fire game controller, you must install 2 AA batteries and pair

it with your Amazon Fire TV. As soon as you install the 2AA batteries, the controller is

immediately “discoverable” by your Amazon Fire TV. If your Amazon Fire game controller

isn’t discovered, press the Home button on the controller for at least five seconds, and then

release it.

Note: The Amazon Fire game controller is not shipped with the Amazon Fire TV and is not

compatible with all games. To see which controllers are compatible with a game, navigate to a

game and then select More Info. On the overview page, you’ll find the controller information

in the Works With box. When searching for games and apps, you can also filter the search

results by All, Fire TV Remote, and Fire TV Game Controller.

Many third-party Bluetooth game controllers work with Amazon Fire TV. To learn more
