Seems like it could be a good move for Sony both financially and to get more MAUs if they released their GAAS games on Gamepass. Get MS money and an increased player base.

Should Sony release their GAAS games on Xbox?

Sure, why not.
Xbox isn’t a threat anymore

No. Because right now with Xbox not looking great, is the time when Sony can make a hard sell to convince Xbox owners to buy PlayStations. Similar to what happened as Sega was failing.

Why should it be gamepass? It would be smart to get the Xbox players to BUY the games.

No, Xbox will have Call of Duty in game pass day one. Why would Sony want to give them other good live service games?
Having call of duty launch in game pass will hit Sonys pockets hard so I doubt they are interested in helping Xbox in anyway lol

No? The pay-off is too small to be worth any risk, even if the risk is relatively small.
It will only happen if they somehow hit a growth wall and someones bonus ends up tied to showing-off user growth to the investors, in this scenario i can see it being the last resort to help achieve it.

They're already on PC so why not. Helldivers 2 PC numbers are great.
It's not like Sony could shut down arrowhead if the game went to xbox....like tango

Nintendo is going to be a serious competitor to Sony going forward, so releasing in Switch would be dumb.

You need a MicroSoft account for some of their games, why would it be any different?

Because they want to push their own digital platform?

Phil better stop port begging then.

What? I don't know what your point is

He's port begging for Helldivers II. PSN was a requirement.

He is? Weird.
Edit: Do Xbox have policies that allow them to make money off of microtransactions/DLCs from games? If so, it would make sense, then.

Phil Spencer says Helldivers 2 not being on Xbox isn’t helping the industry - Dexerto
Xbox CEO Phil Spencer doesn't think that Helldivers 2's console exclusivity is helping anyone in the industry.

I believe they would get 30% cut from MTX.

I don't want these shitty Sony GAAS games to taint the Xbox library. Now excuse me as I continue my Redfall playthrough.

Why not
Helldivers 2 could use a few more hundred players

Nintendo are going to stay in their own lane as per usual. Not saying they aren't a threat but they seem unlikely to be shifting their first-party efforts towards similar content to Sonys, its less of an issue than Xbox.
Bottom line is that the demographic for Switch is a better fit, especially for GAAS. Whereas MS are on their way to Platform as a service.

In a way yes, but people could opt for PC/Switch combo, so Sony can't get comfy with Xbox gone, as they release games on PC as well.
And they ideally want people on Playstation consoles, so releasing games on Switch is a no-go.

No, unless it can help a studio not being closed, and even then only if the reason is that the game is good but failed for external factors.

I would give them exclusive rights for all the upcoming ones, 1 billion each. I'd even give them Hermen Hulst to supervise them personally.

Why the hell would they want that pronoun stuffed shit show Concord? Bit late for Helldivers 2 as that is way passed it peak.

There isn't much to gain. Series will not reach 40 million consoles by end of the gen and Nextbox will not reach 20 million. Also, Xbox players will want the games on Game Pass, so they will not sell either.
No reason to add extra dev time, budget and loss of brand power for pennies

Shareholders want their dividends. More players make number go up, more money. So yes. Who cares what happens one year from now? Want money now.

I think it would make dense for them to do it and also on switch. Those sorts of games are all about the player base and creating a bit of a buzz. If the game is only on PlayStation and PC then the market is restricted.
