I think it's more a situation with optics than anything tbh. Kinda like how to the best of my memory, Apple doesn't release products for PC, Android etc. and vice versa when in a directly competing industry. MS however do have the same problem here to overcome with Sony able to point blank refuse, HOWEVER and this is maybe me just relying on the greed of execs looking for bonuses and shareholders wanting a big fat bump in prices. I think it will happen in one way or another to dip the toes before maybe going further. Sony would benefit to the tune of tens of millions a year more in revenue and MS at minimum. Probably wouldn't be a stretch to say upwards of $100+ million for just even a Game Pass style service on PlayStation.

I think Sony would rather sell those games ala carte and get a 30% cut of those sales. I'm not sure what the compensation would be by putting Game Pass on PlayStation, but I would imagine it wouldn't be nearly as much as what Sony would get from direct sales. Plus, why would Sony invite a subscription service on their console that directly competes with their own subscription service?
