I've noticed if I have a game running in the background, my downloads will be capped around 50 Mbps, but if I quit the game completely my downloads speed up to 300-500

My first instinct if you've tried other network troubleshooting is that you might be connecting to a bad Microsoft Server, or something about to route to said Microsoft Server is hosed. It might not improve things the way you want and this is more for the sake of testing/troubleshooting, but can you connect your home network via VPN somehow to another part of the country (I'm assuming you're US, so if you're East Coast connect to a West Coast VPN, maybe try Canada as well) and see what impact that has on your network speeds? If you're in a small country then try a neighboring country (e.g. if you're in the UK try a VPN to France or Germany). If that looks to produce some level of improvement it might be worth doing some traceroute/packet sniffing to work out the path the connecting is taking. You might be able to figure out a workaround or someone to yell at that way. It could be worth trying different DNS providers (Google, Cloudflare etc.) to see if that has any effect too, I know you said you looked at stuff but it might be worth being more extensive about it.
