After the recent Microsoft-Activision Blizzard acquisition deal, fans are coming up with different theories regarding what could happen, like what if PlayStation 5 featured the Xbox Game Pass?
Recently, one popular face in the gaming industry has shared some exciting future possibilities. According to this Twitter user, BenjiSales, it would be mind-blowing if somehow the Xbox’s boss Phil Spencer managed to get Sony to launch the Game Pass service on PlayStation.
As Xbox Game Pass is considered one of the best gaming services on the planet, it would be just amazing if PlayStation 5 had the Game Pass service on it. However, it’s unlikely, but not beyond the realm of possibility.

If Phil actually somehow got Sony to agree to put Game Pass on PlayStation that would legitimately blow my mind
I still don't think that's what's happening. I just think Call of Duty is fully multiplatform like Minecraft
But Game Pass on PlayStation 5 would be wild lol

Let’s have a look at a few of the fan reactions to this mind-blowing possibility:
Game Pass is going to release on PlayStation, isn't it?

I think Sony might agree to it under 2 conditions: Microsoft published games only, and all games are also available for purchase through the PlayStation Store. I think that'd also be very beneficial to Sony.

It looks like at some point XBOX game pass will be on PlayStation. I think twitter will implode when this happens 😂, like will first party games also be there???????? What a weird timeline
— Pyo 5️⃣ (@mrpyo1) January 20, 2022
I assume only 1st party.

It'd be such a win win, Xbox gets millions more gamepass subscribers and PlayStation still gets Bethesda and COD

It will only happen if Microsoft quits the console hardware race …. which is pretty imminent. 😎 pic.twitter.com/pKKxHWNuVM

"..our desire to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation."
Desire is a very interesting word to use. That doesn't sound like a commitment to do it, it sounds like "We want to but.." Gamepass will probably be on PS sooner than later.— Lexi (@HollowedLexi) January 20, 2022
If Xbox Game Pass went to PlayStation. Xbox will have successfully moved into the tier of a game service company. Why would want to own an Xbox if you can play all great games on PlayStation?
— Jesse D (@Jesse_le_James) January 21, 2022
Sure. Just an app that Playstation players launch. Logs into your Xbox profile and gives access to Gamepass games.
It is a convenience thing. They can already do that on their phone and their super maxed out PC's with gtx 3090's

You could as to put GP on PS, basically nullifying the need for Xbox for everyone. Or you could ask Sony to release its exclusives on Xbox for the next 10 years basically nullifying the need for a PS. The real answer probably lies in the middle.

Can you imagine gamepass on ps5… and the ps5 version gets exclusives, sony pays xbox for cod exclusivity on the PlayStation version of gamepass. Xbox makes money from Sony and the game pass subscribers, win win.

Phil Spencer is a wordsmith, I wouldn’t be surprised if he said Call of Duty stays on PlayStation but GamePass coming along for the ride too.
— Neo a.k.a Negro Kuwabara (@NeoGameSpark) January 20, 2022
I really don't see why they wouldn't do this. PS would get millions of more PS5 sales, and Xbox would get millions of more subscribers.
Then every gaming platform can practically just be together. No more console wars AND the companies benefit from it.— Mohammed Ali (@Mohamme35231073) January 20, 2022
I predict it would be multi platform at least through this generation. Just having call of duty on gamepass is going to move Xbox’s and drive subscriptions which I think is the long goal

Where did this logic ever come from? First switch, now Playstation?
It's playground logic, like the same kind about wishing pokemon were on Ps5 for amazing graphics and and mmo.
Is there something significant I'm missing?
This isn't licensing characters, it's entire libraries.
— Zorak's cold hands (@kingdootdoot) January 20, 2022
If they do that I would like for it to be a different iteration of GP, what do I mean? Not all exclusives will be there, only CoD and other small ones, you want the full experience? Buy a Series or PC 🤷♂️
