Update November 27, 11:45 ET: The original deal has now expired, but there's still a chance to save. This post has been updated with an alternative bundle that's still available with a different controller color to the original.
There's no denying that Xbox consoles are becoming more and more expensive these days, thanks to quickly advancing technology, the economy, and the rise of AI.
If you're in the UK, you can also take advantage of a similar deal, albeit with a slightly less powerful Fire TV Stick. An Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, black Xbox controller and 1-month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is down to just £63.97 at Amazon UK for Black Friday.
How will this bundle help turn my TV into an Xbox?
To utilize this bundle in turning your TV into an Xbox console, you'll take the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max from the bundle and plug it into your TV.
Then, download the Xbox App, pair up your TV with the packaged Xbox controller, and finally activate the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription.
Once you're finished, you will be able to play Xbox games via Xbox Cloud Gaming with the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max acting as a beacon to stream Xbox Game Pass titles onto your TV.
As a result, this will allow you to play awesome Xbox Game Pass titles like The Outer Worlds 2, Keeper, or Warhammer 40,000: Darktide without having to pay full price for a dedicated Xbox Series X|S.
In fact, Xbox Cloud Gaming can even allow you to play some titles not available on Xbox Game Pass. This is thanks to its unique "Stream Your Own Game" feature, which allows users to buy titles like Helldivers 2 and stream them.
If you want to taste test the Xbox ecosystem to see if it's for you but don't want to pay $599.99 for an Xbox Series X or $299.99 for an Xbox Series S (especially after seeing their prices in the US raised twice this year due to tariffs), then this discounted bundle for $87.97 at Amazon is the best, affordable way to do it.

FAQ
Which Fire TV Sticks are compatible with Xbox?
You will need compatible Amazon Fire TV Sticks to access the Xbox App and play Xbox Cloud Gaming titles; otherwise, they won't work. These compatible sticks include the Fire TV Stick 4K (2023 model), Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2021 and 2023 models), and Fire TV Cube (2022 model).
If you're unsure if you have the right stick, go into your TV's Settings, open the My Fire TV option, and select the About option to test its compatibility.
Is Xbox Cloud Gaming exclusive to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate?
No. Xbox Cloud Gaming is available for all three tiers of Xbox Game Pass: Essential, Premium, and Ultimate.
However, subscribing to higher tiers will grant you access to stream games at higher visual fidelity. For example, using this bundle's Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription will allow you to stream games at 1440p resolutions.
When is Black Friday going to start?
Black Friday's official start date is November 28, 2025, and will last for the following weekend until December 1, 2025.
Yet retailers have been offering discounts already throughout November and may continue to host them days after Black Friday has ended.
When is Cyber Monday set to start?
Cyber Monday will begin on December 1, 2025, after Black Friday has ended.
Many deals will be offered for that day, while others have a chance at lasting for days afterwards, so it's best to keep an eye out for these prolonged Cyber Monday discounts.
