My understanding is for non-exceptional games (like, not Fortnite-scale), they just provide a flat fee with a fixed-length contract. Your studio gets $X and it will be on GamePass for Y months. I'm sure gameplay stats are taken into account for future contract renewals or for other games with the same studio, but no, I don't think there is any kind of explicit revenue sharing going on. It can be a hard decision for studios, since they have to balance lost income from sales against the guaranteed income and added publicity from being on GamePass.
