Best Buy is rolling out a Black Friday deal that’s impossible to ignore, especially if you’re looking to dive into the Xbox ecosystem without buying a full-blown console. They’re slashing the price on a Fire TV Stick to a tempting $21.99. Want to make it even better? Combine this deal with a choice of official Xbox controllers, and the total will still be less than what you’d pay for just the controller at its regular price. It’s a win-win for those seeking value and access.
Once Black Friday hits, it seems like everything can transform into an Xbox. There’s a buzz around Microsoft’s “This is an Xbox” campaign, which highlights their drive to expand the brand’s reach. For those watching their wallets but eager to experience the Xbox world, here’s a golden opportunity. The Fire TV Stick isn’t just a tool to stream your favorite shows in 4K on any TV with a USB port. Thanks to a recent update, it now supports game streaming in collaboration with Xbox Cloud Gaming.
This little gadget can be plugged into any compatible TV, enabling you to run Xbox games with an Xbox Game Pass Subscription. That’s right—no console is necessary. Microsoft has also rolled out a “Stream Your Own Games” feature with Xbox Cloud Gaming. This allows you to play certain games you’ve purchased digitally, all with the power of streaming.
You might have your hands on a PlayStation or a Nintendo Switch already, and you’re not entirely sold on the idea of adding another console to your collection. Skipping on the hefty $250+ price tag for another box that might collect dust could be appealing. Yet, the allure of Xbox Game Pass gives access to blockbuster games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 or the anticipated Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. This deal lets you experience those titles without the full console investment.
In our gaming-centric household, despite having a Series S and X, we decided to snag one of these Fire TV Stick deals for our teenager. It gives her the flexibility to hop into her gaming sessions without negotiating over who gets the Xbox next. At this price, I’m tempted to equip every TV in our home with one just to maintain peace and keep everyone gaming happily.
