Amazon is putting a new Fire TV Stick Basic Edition into 100 countries around the world.

The streaming device brings access to several thousand movies, TV shows and games. The default language can be set to French, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, German, or English.

“Last year, we made Amazon Prime Video available to customers globally, and today, we’re building on that momentum as we introduce Fire TV Stick Basic Edition to new customers around the world,” said Marc Whitten, Vice President, Amazon Fire TV. “This makes streaming content from apps like Prime Video fast and easy and we can’t wait to hear what customers think.”

The streaming media player comes with a quad-core processor and 1 GB of memory, as well as 8 GB of storage for apps and games. It also features 802.11ac Wi-Fi and offers support for High Efficiency Video Codec (HEVC) for 1080p HD streaming. Dolby Audio is also included.

The unit is priced at $49.49.
