My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: Xbox Game Pass Bundle
Over the years, gaming has changed dramatically to the point where you no longer need what is considered the most important piece of video game hardware: a console. Well, at least for Xbox. Following a partnership with Amazon and Microsoft, Fire Sticks can now use the Xbox app to stream Xbox games live to your TV without the need for an Xbox console. If you’re interested, Amazon has a Fire Stick bundle with everything you need to get started on your TV starting at $74.99 (originally $136.97), the lowest price for this package, according to price checker tools .
In the bundle, you can choose between the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K and the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max . The main difference between the two is that the Max is Wi-Fi 6e compatible, so if you have access to Wi-Fi 6e at home, the 4K Max package is a better deal for $5 more. If not, save yourself $5 and get yourself a nice pumpkin latte.
If you already have an Xbox controller and don’t want to play on Game Pass, all you need is a Fire Stick. The Fire Stick 4K Max is currently $30 off with promo code FTVGAME4K on the page.
As you can see in the IGN video, there are downsides. You may notice a little input lag and load times may be a little longer, but if that’s the difference between playing the game and not playing the game at all, then it’s a small price to pay for playing the game. Just be prepared for a lot of updates and downloads to get the system up and running on your TV. You can follow the instructions from the IGN video.
