Best Buy’s Black Friday deals are turning heads this year, especially for those keen on diving into the Xbox world without splurging on a new console. Right now, you can snag a Fire TV Stick for just $21.99. But that’s not all – if you pair it up with an Xbox controller, whichever color you fancy, you’ll still end up spending less than what an official joypad usually costs.
Transforming Any Device into an Xbox
The allure of Xbox during Black Friday is undeniable. It seems like anything can be converted into an Xbox gaming hub now. There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding Microsoft’s "This is an Xbox" campaign, with plenty of analysis on what it means for the brand. However, if you’re thrifty and looking for a wallet-friendly way to explore the Xbox universe, this is it.
Most people know that the Fire TV Stick can effortlessly transform any TV with a USB port into a smart device, offering 4K streaming of all your favorite digital content. What some might have missed, though, is its recent upgrade – it now supports gaming, thanks to Xbox Cloud Gaming integration.
This essentially means you can grab this handy gadget, plug it into any USB-ready TV, and access Xbox games through an app. And with an Xbox Game Pass subscription, you’re all set. What’s more, Microsoft’s new "Stream Your Own Games" feature on Xbox Cloud Gaming allows you to stream select digital titles without a console in sight.
Xbox Gaming Without the Console Price Tag
Whether you already own a PlayStation, a Nintendo Switch, or any other console, you might find yourself hesitating to shell out an extra $250 or more for yet another device. But, with the Fire TV Stick deal, you can immerse yourself in Xbox Game Pass, playing top-tier games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 or looking forward to titles like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle without any hefty hardware investments.
In my household, where gaming reigns supreme, we’ve got both a Series S and a Series X. Still, we couldn’t resist grabbing this Fire TV Stick deal for our teen’s room. Now, she has her own setup and doesn’t have to wait around for the other Xbox consoles to free up. Honestly, with the price being this reasonable, I’m considering getting one for each TV in the house, simply to put an end to the constant jockeying for Xbox time by the kids!
