October Prime Day is here and, unsurprisingly, you can save a ton on Amazon’s own tech. The company’s most powerful streaming stick, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, has dropped to a record low of $35. That’s 42 percent off and a return to the sale price we saw during Prime Day in July — and it’s just one of many Fire TV devices that have been discounted ahead of the sale event. Those include the Fire TV Stick Lite, our favorite budget streamer, which is on sale for $18.
But the Fire TV Stick 4K Max is a great streaming device as well, with support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+. As the name suggests, it can stream content in 4K Ultra HD. The stick also supports Dolby Atmos audio, for added immersion.

This streaming stick includes the company’s proprietary Fire TV Ambient Experience, which allows users to display art and photos on the screen. This mimics the functionality of something like Samsung’s The Frame TV. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max also boasts 16GB of storage, for downloads, apps and games.
Speaking of games, this thing doubles as a highly functional cloud gaming box. It can stream Xbox games via Game Pass Ultimate and integrates with Amazon Luna. We singled out this device as a great option for retro gamers, as it can easily run many emulation apps. Finally, it ships with an upgraded remote that offers Alexa integration.
While the Fire TV Stick 4K Max is arguably Amazon’s best streaming dongle for most people that’s on sale right now, the rest of the Fire TV device lineup is on sale, too.
