Overview

  • Netflix will discontinue its app support for the original Fire TV box, first-generation Fire TV Stick, and Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote on June 2, 2025.
  • Impacted subscribers have been notified via email, with Netflix citing usage data to identify affected devices.
  • The decision aligns with Netflix's shift to advanced streaming standards like the AV1 codec, which older devices cannot support.
  • These first-generation Fire TV devices, launched in 2014 and 2015, no longer receive software or security updates from Amazon.
  • Subscribers must upgrade to newer streaming hardware, such as the Fire TV Stick 4K or other compatible devices, to retain Netflix access.
