Microsoft will launch the Xbox TV app on Fire TV Sticks in July. The Xbox TV app brings access to Xbox Cloud Gaming to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. So they can stream games directly to Fire TV devices.
Xbox Cloud app will support Fire TV Stick 4K Max and Fire TV Stick 4K models. So, you need a compatible Fire TV Stick, an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, and a Bluetooth-enabled wireless controller to stream games.

The main benefit of the Xbox TV app is that users do not need an Xbox console to play these high-end games. They just need to have a fast and stable connection and a compatible controller. Fire TV stick is an affordable device. So, the move brings Xbox Cloud Gaming to the masses.
It is worth noting that the Xbox TV app is already available on some of Samsung’s TVs and Monitors. Microsoft partnered with Samsung back in 2022 to launch the Xbox TV app for Samsung smart TVs.
Now it will be interesting to see what Microsoft brings Xbox Cloud Gaming to Android TV. Fire TV OS is based on Android. If the company can introduce Xbox Cloud Gaming for Fire TV OS, not sure why it is waiting to introduce it for Android TV.
