If you’re looking for the paid games for Firestick, then you’ve come to the right place. It doesn’t get better than the following list of games, which you can play on all Amazon Fire TV devices. This includes the Fire TV Cube, Fire TV Stick 2nd Gen, and the Fire TV Stick 4K. You can even play some of these games on older Amazon devices.
Top Paid FireStick Games
As promised, here are our picks of the best paid games for Firestick:
1. Sonic the Hedgehog
Here we have the original Sonic the Hedgehog game. It has been specifically optimized for gameplay on the Fire TV device. The whole point of the game is to defeat the game’s main villain, Dr. Robitnik.
You can purchase it separately for $2.99 instead of getting it as part of the Sega bundle. Otherwise, you’ll need a Bluetooth game controller to play this game, as with Sonic CD.
2. Sega Classics
Sega Classics fans rejoice! Your favorite Sega games are now available on FireStick! This includes Sonic CD, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, and Sonic The Hedgehog.
The best part is that you can enjoy all of these retro Sega games for the low, low price of only $14,99 – for life! It’s a great deal because you’re getting them all bundled into one place. This is straight from the Amazon Store, where they’re available for purchase and download.
3. Pac-Man Championship Edition DX
Everyone recognizes Pacman because it’s one of the oldest and most popular games of all time. But, it has seen a lot of updates and improvements since its initial release in the 80s. Nevertheless, the object of the game remains the same. It doesn’t matter how fancy the visuals and controls get over the years.
The one we’re writing about here was released in 2010 for Xbox 360 and PS3 and it’s called the Championship Edition DX. Although it was initially released for compatibility with Android devices, it has since been updated to include the Fire TV.
What makes this one of the best paid games for Firestick is the fact that it comes with new and exciting elements that make for interesting and novel gameplay. For instance, there’s a sleeping ghost that gets triggered only when you walk past. There’s also a bomb that you can use to disperse all the ghosts if you get overwhelmed by it.
Needless to say, Pacman fans will love playing this game on their FireStick devices.
4. Sonic CD
When Sonic CD first came out in 1993, it was a hit and it has held a special place in the hearts of many ever since.
Perhaps this explains its continued popularity over the years. While you can enjoy Sonic CD as part of the Sega Classics package, you can also purchase it separately for only $2,99.
It has all the action and gameplay that you recall from your childhood. The game has a fun storyline that makes playing the game for hours super worth it. As always, Sonic has to face his nemesis Dr. Robotnik, while trying to save his Little Planet. The result is a variety of amazing adventures that will have you on the edge of your seat throughout.
The only downside is that you can’t use a FireStick Remote to operate this game. You have to use a Bluetooth game controller.
5. Tetris
Tetris has been around for three decades at this point and it’s still a fan favorite, so we couldn’t leave it out of our best paid games for Firestick list. The object of the game is to match tiles and although it sounds simple, it can keep you enthralled for hours.
A free trial of the game which includes 10 rows is available on the Amazon online store for those who have never tried it before. Otherwise, if you want to access all three of the game’s modes then you have to invest in the premium version.
Just imagine going through the Sprint, Marathon, and Ultra levels on your Firestick. There are over 3,000 reviews on Firestick for this game, giving it an overall rating of 4 stars.
6. Riptide GP: Renegade
One of the best paid games for Amazon Firestick, Renegade is about an illegal hydro jet racing ring that you get to be in the middle of.
It’s everything you’d expect and more, with the main player being taken through his paces by taking part in the big leagues.
This translates to some really epic race scenes that make you feel as though you’re flying from one part of the game to another, from desolate factories to flooded ruins and city waterways. The point of the game, you may ask? To win the ultimate prize; gold.
But, you have to make sure you don’t get caught by the cops while you’re at it, and the amazing graphics will keep you engaged throughout.
You also get to choose between online multiplayer mode, single race mode where you get to race against the AI, as well as regular career mode.
How to Pair a Game Controller
The great thing about Amazon Fire TV devices is that they come pre-coded with game controller compatibility.
