Makes a lot of sense. It's a big budget game, the sort which would grow Gamepass's popularity immensely, is it a coincidence that Xcloud is looking to be ready about the same time the game releases? The release month is pretty perfect. Just before the Holiday season, so it can be used to benefit console sales, Gamepass and Xcloud all at once.
Remember I only theorised that the timing was partially considered. When you put that much time and money into something, surely the timing is considered.
It makes no sense to delay the game for either services. The game was delayed because it simply wasn't ready for prime time and not because of GamePass or xCloud.
