The biggest one by far has been Obsidian Entertainment. They've released 3 games since being acquired. The Outer Worlds (multiplatform) Grounded (insanely fun Survival game with a Honey, I Shrunk the Kids vibe) and Pentiment (murder mystery set during the Holy Roman Empire period in the 16th Century with an art style of that time)
The Outer Worlds had an indie publisher and the game had a AA budget, but the writing was phenomenal and I'm looking forward to the sequel. But Grounded and Pentiment were published by Xbox and were very creative games in genres I wouldn't typically play myself.
But, Starfield by Bethesda Game Studios will alone be Xbox's biggest exclusive since arguably Halo 3. 16 years ago. So in 2 months time, Bethesda will be your answer lol.
Obsidian will still be Microsoft's overall biggest performer with Avowed releasing next year. Like how The Outer Worlds was Obsidian's take on a Fallout game, just not open world, Avowed will be Obsidian's take on an Elder Scrolls game, just not open world as well.
