No console? Fire TV Stick 4K Select is powerful enough to handle Xbox Game Pass, which means you’ll be able to play console-quality games on the big screen. You can stream hundreds of games from this Netflix-like service, including blockbuster titles like Minecraft, Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, Sea of Thieves, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Microsoft Flight Simulator, and Dead Space to the television.

Your in-game progress is synced over the cloud, so you can pick up on one device, like a smartphone, iPad, Samsung Smart TV, or Fire TV Stick 4K Select, and then resume where you left off on an Xbox Series X, PC, or Series S console.

Xbox has even integrated features like voice chat with other places into its cloud offering, so the experience should be very close to playing on a console. Fire TV Stick owners will be able to play Fortnite for free, with no subscription required, Amazon has confirmed.

With Netflix confirming plans to block its streaming service on older Fire TV Stick models, it’s the perfect opportunity to ditch an ageing Fire TV Stick that’s starting to run a little slowly …or losing access to some of the most popular shows, documentaries, and films.

If you upgrade to the Fire TV Stick 4K Select, Amazon will cut 20% off the cost of an Xbox wireless controller and one-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

Unfortunately, not every Fire TV device is compatible with Xbox Game Pass. From July 2024, those with a Fire TV Stick 4K Max or a Fire TV Stick 4K released that same year will be able to start playing console games.

The newest generation of Fire TV Stick — the Fire TV Stick 4K Select — is the most affordable model capable of doubling-up as an Xbox and streaming triple-A titles like Call of Duty, Flight Simulator, and Doom on the TV.

The latest Fire TV devices —

Fire TV Stick HD with Alexa Voice Remote

If you haven’t upgraded to a new Fire TV Stick for some time, the number of features crammed into this entry-level model that were previously reserved for pricier models really shows how far things have moved on. In the box, you’ll find an Alexa Voice Remote, so you can use the chatty AI assistant to launch streaming apps, find shows from a particular director, control playback, and more.

Streaming quality is still limited to 1080p HD, but there is support for Dolby Atmos too.

Unfortunately, this affordable model isn’t included in Amazon’s Boxing Day sale, so you’ll be paying well over the odds for this Fire TV Stick compared to the other streaming kit in the lineup.

Fire TV Stick 4K Select

This second-generation Fire TV Stick 4K was unveiled last year, with support for Wi-Fi 6 for improved wireless streaming, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos picture and sound quality, and a 25% speed boost, thanks to the new chipset and 2GB of RAM. You’ll also find the Alexa Voice Remote included in the box. This is one of the models eligible for an extra 20% off an Xbox wireless controller and one-month subscription to Xbox Game Pass to enjoy console-quality games like Call of Duty, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, It Takes Two, and Halo streamed to the Fire TV Stick.

Fire TV Stick 4K Max

Want to future-proof your streaming with a little more speed? Fire TV Stick 4K Max is all about raw power, with support for the latest Wi-Fi 6E wireless standard, 40% more processing power than the standard Fire TV Stick 4K, and twice as much storage too. Like the standard Fire TV 4K, that processing grunt mean it’s able to stream the latest blockbuster console games from Xbox Game Pass — with nothing by a wireless controller paired over Bluetooth, to recreate an Xbox-like experience.

It’s also the first model to support the new Fire TV Ambient Experience, which displays over 2,000 pieces of museum-quality art and photography when your telly is not in-use.

Amazon Fire TV Cube

This top-of-the-line device combines the functionality of a Fire TV Stick and an Echo Dot, so you’ll be able to use hands-free voice commands with Alexa. The smart assistant can change channels, control playback, load up apps and games, as well as answer general knowledge queries, control smart home devices, set timers, add items to your calendar, and more without touching your remote control.
