Amazon has confirmed important deadlines for software security updates on its Fire TV Stick devices. The company stated that it will support devices with security updates for at least four years from the date of purchase, and may continue beyond that period where possible.
Most current Fire TV Stick models will receive updates until December 31, 2030. The only exception is the Fire TV Stick 4K (1st Generation), which will see its last update on December 31, 2029. Models covered include the Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd Gen), Fire TV Stick 4K (2nd Gen), Fire TV Stick (3rd Gen), Fire TV Stick HD (2nd Gen), Fire TV Stick HD (1st Gen), Fire TV Stick 4K Max (1st Gen), and Fire TV Cube (3rd Gen).
Amazon clarified that these dates do not mean devices will become useless after the deadline, but serve as a guide for when owners may need to consider upgrading. The company also noted that the update period is not a guarantee of device longevity.
To check which model you own, go to Settings > My Fire TV > About on your device, where the specific device name and generation will be listed.
