This is just a PR play. Gaming has benefited from the virus fallout. So, this would have made more sense, from an actual help perspective, before the virus had everyone parked in from of their consoles and PCs all day.

Can you explain how developers who are currently developing games have benefited?

Work has most likely slowed down, and they may have had to invest in additional inventory to set up working from home. They are now going to miss both GDC and E3, so anything they had invested in to showcase their game is now lost. (That could be substantial for an indie developer in desperate need of exposure). 

I would imagine this is for indie developers working on exclusive content for the PS5/PC, and that's the criteria.
