This might be old news, but as the focus has been on COD, this is the first I'm hearing of the 10 year agreement being more than COD

Did the contract say when those games will be available? I bet some or probably all titles will have a delayed release on outside platforms.

The only platform Microsoft would theoretically delay is Sony, given that in the court, they have pointed out that Sony refused to give them a dev kit, at least for the early launch window.

If amything, Microsoft has history of doing the opposite (later release on their own console). Deathloop is an Arkane Lyon project. It was released on Playstation and PC a week before it was released on Series.

That’s because the Deathloop exclusivity period on PlayStation and PC was set before the acquisition and they had to honor existing contracts. It’s not indicative of a pattern they’re going to follow
