With cloud gaming you can transform devices such as your smartphone, laptop or even the Fire TV Stick into a full-fledged console. A popular service for this is GeForce Now. This is available for many common devices, but unfortunately not for the Amazon Fire TV Stick. But with a trick it is possible to use the service on the Fire TV Stick.
Amazon allows sideloading Android apps on the Fire TV Stick and since GeForce Now is available for Android, you can get the cloud gaming service on the stick. To sideload apps like this on the Fire TV Stick, you need the downloader app.
Once this is installed and set up, GeForce Now can be installed on the Fire TV Stick as follows.
