Sony might want the IP so they can try to start a blockbuster movie franchise. It’s not all about video games.

a lot of these acquisitions is to strengthen the Gamepass value. MS sees Gamepass as the brand’s future and are just making this big splashes to strengthen the product which will help MS in the gaming space in decades to come.
