Overview
- Netflix will discontinue app support for Amazon's original Fire TV box, first Fire TV Stick, and Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote starting June 3, 2025.
- The affected devices, released between 2014 and 2016, are no longer compatible with modern streaming standards like the AV1 codec.
- Amazon had already ceased software and security updates for these first-generation Fire TV products earlier this year.
- Subscribers using these devices must upgrade to newer streaming hardware or cancel their Netflix subscriptions to maintain access.
- This phase-out follows Netflix's similar actions last year, removing support for decade-old Sony and Apple TV models.
