Prime Day deals come and go fast, and most of them aren't worth the hype. This one is the exception.
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus has dropped to $24.99 for Prime Day, which works out to nearly 60% off its regular price. If you've been sitting on an older TV that's missing apps or running sluggish smart software, this is the fix.

What you're actually getting for $25
At this price point, the spec list is hard to argue with. The Fire TV Stick 4K Plus supports 4K streaming with Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Dolby Atmos audio passthrough. That's a full premium presentation pipeline for less than the cost of a new game.
Connectivity runs on Wi-Fi 6, which matters if you've got a modern router and want stable 4K streams without buffering. The included Alexa Voice Remote handles search and smart home control, so it plugs into any existing Alexa setup you already have running.
Here's the thing that makes this relevant for gamers specifically: the Xbox app is available on the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus. Hook up a controller and you can stream Xbox Game Pass titles directly through the cloud. It's not a replacement for a proper console or PC, but for a secondary TV setup or a travel solution, it's a genuinely useful option.
The gaming angle worth paying attention to
Cloud gaming via the Xbox app on Fire TV has matured significantly. The Fire TV Stick 4K Plus handles it better than older sticks thanks to the Wi-Fi 6 support keeping latency manageable. Twitch is also available as a free app, so if your gaming setup is more about watching than playing on a given night, that's covered too.
For anyone building out a multi-room setup or setting up a TV for a younger family member, this is a practical entry point into a full streaming and light gaming ecosystem for under $25. Trade-in an old device and you're looking at under $20.
Prime Day timing and what comes next
Prime Day deals at this discount level rarely last through the full event window, and this one is already being flagged as a last-chance offer. The $24.99 price is live now, but stock and pricing can shift quickly once the sale window closes.
If you're the kind of person who keeps tabs on gaming gear deals, the broader Prime Day window also tends to surface discounts on controllers, headsets, and monitors. Worth keeping an eye on our game reviews section as we cover the hardware that actually matters for your setup.
