Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select — Mid‑October launch

We reported earlier on the new Fire TV Stick 4K Select. The device positions itself in performance somewhere between the existing Fire TV Stick models. Its standout feature, according to Amazon, is the expansion options tied to the new Vega operating system — including support for cloud gaming platforms such as Xbox Cloud Gaming and Luna.

• Performance: sits between current Fire TV Stick models in raw performance — improved app loading and smoother streaming compared with base models.
• Vega OS: a new operating system that opens up extension options and tighter integration with Amazon services.
• Gaming support: officially supports cloud gaming platforms like Xbox Cloud Gaming and Luna, making the stick a lightweight cloud gaming gateway.
• Video: 4K streaming with HDR support (typical for the 4K line).

Availability

The device is expected in mid‑October (sources mention availability around Oct 15–19). Exact pricing may vary by region; check local retailers or Amazon for pre‑order details.
