Netflix is cutting off older Fire TV devices in a few days - how to see if you're affected
Briefly

Netflix is set to terminate support for its service on first-generation Fire TV devices, including the Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, effective June 3, 2025. This decision likely stems from the inability of these older devices to support current video and audio formats required for higher-tier Netflix plans. Users are faced with the need to upgrade to continue accessing Netflix. This pattern of discontinuation isn't new, as Netflix has phased out support for various outdated devices in the past. Users can check their device generation and find affordable replacements on the market.
Netflix will cease support for first-generation Fire TV devices on June 3, 2025, likely due to incompatibility with modern video and audio formats.
Users of the first-generation Fire TV and Fire TV Stick will need to upgrade their devices to continue using Netflix, as other streaming services may also lose support.
The end of support for older devices is not new for Netflix, which has previously discontinued services for older DVD and Blu-ray players, tablets, and game consoles.
Replacing old devices might be necessary, with the latest Fire Stick available for as low as $19.99, ensuring continued access to Netflix.
