Amazon Fire TV + Xbox 360 Minecraft Multiplayer? No Cross-Play.

No. Amazon Fire TV (Fire OS) runs Minecraft Bedrock Edition (v1.16+). Xbox 360 runs Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition (Legacy Console Edition, last updated 2018). They are incompatible versions with no cross-play.

Version Breakdown

Platform	Edition	Cross-Play
Fire TV / Fire Tablet	Bedrock (v1.21+)	Yes: Win10/11, PS4/5, Switch, iOS, Android, Xbox One/Series
Xbox 360	Legacy Console (TU73 final)	No — isolated ecosystem
Xbox One / Series X\|S	Bedrock	Yes — with Fire TV, Switch, PC, Mobile, PS

Solutions to Play Together

Upgrade to Xbox One/Series X|S: Backward compatible for 360 games, but Minecraft 360 Edition does not cross-play. You'd both play Bedrock on new Xbox.
PC / Mobile / Switch / PS4/5: Any Bedrock device can play with Fire TV. Buy Minecraft (Bedrock) on that device ($6.99–$29.99).
Minecraft Realms (Bedrock): $3.99/mo (2 players) / $7.99/mo (10 players). Persistent cloud world. Invite Fire TV friend + any Bedrock device.

Fire TV Note: Controller required (Bluetooth gamepad). Touch controls not supported for Minecraft on Fire TV.

Bottom Line: Xbox 360 Minecraft is a dead end for multiplayer. Friend needs Bedrock on any modern device. Fire TV is a Bedrock device—so they can play with Switch/PC/PS/Xbox One/Series, just not 360.
