Microsoft said that it wouldn't have an incentive to withold games from other platforms in 2021 when they acquired ZeniMax.
>"[Microsoft] submits that Microsoft has strong incentives to continue making ZeniMax games available for rival consoles (and their related storefronts)."
2023/01: Hi-Fi Rush is exclusive to Xbox and Microsoft Windows.
2023/05: Redfall is exclusive to Xbox and Microsoft Windows.
2023/09: Starfield is exclusive to Xbox and Microsoft Windows.
So yeah, I'm gonna err on the side of "they'd probably restrict a lot of games afterwards". Maybe some big existing properties like Call of Duty might be available, much like Minecraft, but I don't foresee Microsoft-ABK being a win for competition.
