With an Amazon Fire TV Stick, you can turn any TV into a smart TV. That was the original selling point anyway, but at this point you’d have to try pretty hard to find a TV out there that doesn’t support smart features. The really selling point now is the Fire TV ecosystem and interface. Some television UIs are significantly worse that others. I’m looking at you LG with your wannabe Wiimote remotes. Anyway, right now you can save a solid 40% on the latest Amaozn Fire TV Stick 4K. It normally is priced at $50, but that discounts brings it down by $20 to just $30 for a limited time.
Stream all your favorite movies and shows through popular streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Max (or whatever it is they’re calling that one this week). You can access the individual catalogues of those apps with their subscriptions, but there’s also a ton of free content your can enjoy right on the Fire TV. Access free movies and TV show epiusods via a number of ad-supported apps such as Amazon Freevee, Tubi, Pluto TV, and the various Fire TV channels.

The Alexa remote makes searching for what to watch super easy. Typing with a directional pad with an on-screen keyboard is tedious. With the Alexa-remote, just hold the button down and say the movie name and be brought right to it. It even searches through the libraries of apps like Netflix and Disney+ to direct you to which app has what you’re looking for.
4K video contains a lot of data, so the Fire TV Stick 4K has been made to be compatible with Wi-Fi 6. Support for faster internet speeds helps ensure super smooth streaming, even when you have a number of other devices connected to and actively using your router. This is the newest model Fire TV Stick 4K and that Wi-Fi 6 support is really the biggest enhancement over the previous model.
Play Games From the Cloud
One of the bonuses you get with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription these days is cloud streaming support. You no longer actually need an Xbox to play Xbox games. You can stream them to you PC or laptop or, yes, even your Fire Stick. The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4 supports streaming games ranging from indie-darlings like last year’s brain-wrinkling Metroidvainia Animal Well to darling Indies like Bethesda’s first-person action-adventure Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
If you live in an area with stable enough internet, you can get a pretty seamless experience playing games just streaming them from the cloud. And with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you’ll gain access to hundreds of awesome titles to keep you entertained for the foreseeable future.
