If Microsoft gives them a cut maybe.
I wonder if Sony would allow gamepass in their ecosystem. That said, if this is true then we are likely to see Microsoft leave the console hardware market.

But only for MS first party games. 3rd party games surely have to go through PS Plus if they want other terms than just buying games.

No fucking chance Sony’s going to let a rival set up shop on their own consoles. Not even a possibility. Look at how much Apple and Google fought with Epic over keeping them off their phones. And that’s just over a secondary app store on a device that can do a million different things that the parent companies can still find ways to monetize. You’re talking about a competitor selling a subscription to bypass PlayStation’s only source of sales. Sony will fight that with everything they’ve got and no cut of the subscription fees will ever be enough to change their minds.

Plus the Epic lawsuits set a precedent that if you provide zero support for third party stores (Apple) you’re fine, but provide second class support (Google) and you’re going to get fucked.

I agree, they have no reason to allow it, specially to their biggest rival.
