Unlock an extra 20% off the Amazon Spring Sale price cuts — even if your Fire TV Stick is broken

Send back your existing Fire TV Stick to the nearest Amazon warehouse, and you'll be rewarded with an extra 20% off the latest generation of streaming gadgets. This discount is available all year round but has been supercharged in the last 24 hours as it can now be combined with the price cuts in Amazon's Spring Sale.

Amazon has slashed up to 42% off its Fire TV Stick lineup for its Spring Deal Days sale, which runs March 25 – 31, 2025. But if you send an older Fire TV Stick back to Amazon, that price drop will be bolstered to a whopping 62% off. It's the perfect opportunity to ditch an ageing Fire TV Stick that's starting to run a little slowly.


Broken devices are also eligible for the promotion, Amazon has confirmed.

With the Amazon Spring Sale in full-swing, these are the prices for the latest Fire TV Stick lineup.

If you combine these prices with the trade-in deal, the price of the Fire TV Stick 4K plummets to just £23 — that's less than you'd usually spend on the Fire TV Stick HD and you'll unlock 4K Ultra HD picture quality, faster and more reliable Wi-Fi 6 connections, support for Dolby Vision and Atmos standards, and Xbox Game Pass support.

Send your old Fire TV Stick to Amazon, and upgrade for less 

Amazon has slashed the price of the Fire TV Stick 4K from £59.99 to £34.99 as part of its Spring Deal Days sale. The discount is only available until March 31, but if you send an existing Fire TV Stick back to Amazon before the end of the sale, you'll unlock an extra 20% off. That cuts the price to just £23 — that's less than the entry-level Fire TV Stick HD in the sale!

$59.99 $23

If you upgrade to the Fire TV Stick 4K, Amazon will cut 20% off the cost of an Xbox wireless controller and one-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

Last summer, Amazon and Xbox teamed up to let Fire TV Stick owners stream hundreds of games — like Minecraft, Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, Sea of Thieves, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Dead Space — to their television with no console needed.

Your in-game progress is synched over the cloud, so you can pick up on one device, like a smartphone, iPad, Samsung Smart TV, or Fire TV Stick 4K Max, and then resume where you left off on an Xbox Series X, PC, or Series S console.

Fire TV Stick 4K Max has enough processing power to access Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which is a Netflix-like service packed with hundreds of titles from developers including EA, Bethesda, Activision, The Coalition, Double Fine Productions, 343 Industries, id Software, and Playground Games, to name just a few

Xbox has even integrated features like voice chat with other places into its cloud offering, so the experience should be very close to playing on a console. Fire TV Stick owners will be able to play Fortnite for free, with no subscription required, Amazon has confirmed.

Unfortunately, not every Fire TV device is compatible with Xbox Game Pass. From July 2024, those with a Fire TV Stick 4K Maxor a Fire TV Stick 4K released that same year will be able to start playing console games. Both of those models are now on-sale in the Amazon Spring Sale.

Here's the list of Fire TV devices included in the sale —

Fire TV Stick HD with Alexa Voice Remote

The next model in the line-up arrives with an Alexa Voice Remote, so you can use the chatty AI assistant to launch streaming apps, find shows from a particular director, control playback, and more. Streaming quality is still limited to 1080p HD, but there is support for Dolby Atmos too.

Fire TV Stick 4K

This second-generation Fire TV Stick 4K was unveiled last year, with support for Wi-Fi 6 for improved wireless streaming, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos picture and sound quality, and a 25% speed boost, thanks to the new chipset and 2GB of RAM. You'll also find the Alexa Voice Remote included in the box.

Fire TV Stick 4K Max

Want to future-proof your streaming with a little more speed? Fire TV Stick 4K Max is all about raw power, with support for the latest Wi-Fi 6E wireless standard, 40% more processing power than the standard Fire TV Stick 4K, and twice as much storage too. All of that processing grunt mean it's able to stream the latest blockbuster console games from Xbox Game Pass — with nothing by a wireless controller paired over Bluetooth, to recreate an Xbox-like experience.

It's also the first model to support the new Fire TV Ambient Experience, which displays over 2,000 pieces of museum-quality art and photography when your telly is not in-use.

Amazon Fire TV Cube

This top-of-the-line device combines the functionality of a Fire TV Stick and an Echo Dot, so you'll be able to use hands-free voice commands with Alexa. The smart assistant can change channels, control playback, load up apps and games, as well as answer general knowledge queries, control smart home devices, set timers, add items to your calendar, and more without touching your remote control.
