Did you know you no longer need an Xbox console to play Xbox? Earlier this year, Amazon announced that Xbox had come to Fire TV, meaning you could now play cloud-enabled games on Fire TV devices.

This bundle helps you get started.

For just a few more hours, you can get a carbon black core wireless Xbox controller, an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, and one month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate — a $126.97 value — for just $74.99.

With the Fire TV Stick you can play Xbox games, including “Minecraft,” “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III,” and “MLB The Show 24,” just by plugging the Fire TV Stick into any TV with an HDMI input. Then, of course, you’ll need a controller to play the games.

The wireless controller has a hybrid D-pad, and textured grip on the triggers and bumpers, plus a USB-C port for charging.

The Fire TV Stick 4K comes with support for Wifi 6E, meaning it’s faster and smoother than ever even with other devices connected to your router.

Prime Big Deal Days is an Amazon-hosted sale event exclusive for Prime members. It’s similar to Amazon Prime Day, offering a wide range of deals and discounts on various products, and spanning two days annually in October.

The sale runs just 48 hours, beginning at 12 a.m. PT on Tuesday, October 8, through 11:59 p.m. PT on Wednesday, October 9.

October Prime Day ends October 9 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time, so east-coasters have until about 3 a.m. on October 10 their time to shop the deals.

Already wondering when the next Amazon Prime Day is? Prime Day takes place in July each year. While Amazon hasn’t confirmed the dates for Prime Day 2025, it’s safe to assume it will take place in mid-July — similar to previous years.

While Prime members can take full advantage of Amazon Prime Day (plus all the benefits of the subscription), interested shoppers can grab a 30-day free trial to enjoy Prime Day with no strings attached.

From reporting on Amazon Prime Day throughout the years, we can tell you for certain that it’s the ideal period to upgrade to Apple’s latest AirPods, restock some new kitchen items and comb through the massive catalog of Amazon best-sellers.
