STAMFORD, Conn., Aug. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PHYND, a free ad-supported game streaming platform for TVs, today announced the launch of its beta service across Amazon Fire TV devices in the United States. Available on several Fire TV Sticks and Amazon Ember smart TVs, PHYND gives players free access to a growing catalog of premium games through the devices they already own.
The Fire TV launch marks a major milestone in PHYND’s mission to bring premium gaming to the devices consumers already use every day. By extending to include both smart TVs and streaming media players, PHYND further expands access to the big screen.
At the same time, PHYND’s free-to-play model helps developers and publishers reach audiences beyond traditional gaming ecosystems. By eliminating hardware requirements and upfront content costs, the platform removes barriers to play, creating new pathways for game discovery, engagement, and monetization at scale.
“PHYND was built on the belief that everyone should have access to great games, regardless of the hardware they own,” said André Swanston, Founder & CEO of PHYND. “Launching across Fire TV devices dramatically expands our ability to reach customers wherever they are. Whether it’s a Fire TV smart TV in the living room or a Fire TV Stick connected to an existing television, we're making it easier than ever for anyone to discover and play great games.”
