I have to wonder why this is happening?

Same reason all the other ports are happening: Microsoft massively overstretched itself with the ABK takeover and Xbox isn't making enough money. It's make more money or get axed, in case you somehow completely missed 2024 entirely.

When I said I wonder why, I meant in regards to a game in an active life cycle. The game came out in 2021 and, as I said, recieved its last content drop with a new game on the way

This is a larger trend with how much these games cost and how much the console market has shrunk. I think they just realized that one line crossed the other line while the ABK purchase was in limbo.
