I don't believe an xbox series version was in the works when microsoft bought the publishing rights. that would have been microsoft's influence.

They never promised a PS5 version in the crowdfunder so they're doing the absolute minimum here. Naturally, the game will be on Series X as the studio is now MS owned.
