Microsoft isn't the developer here; Bethesda, A/B, etc. are. Microsoft is working as the publisher to get these games into as many people's hands as possible. The way they are doing this is by putting Game Pass onto as many devices as they can, and publishing those games exclusively to Xbox and Game Pass.
