Buying a big, well established 3rd party dev to make rental games games is probably the worst thing to ever happen in gaming.
But luckily no one has to buy an xbox game anymore.
Be prepared for google, apple and amazon to begin doing the same.
Their games will 100% be on PlayStation. 3-4 years from now when the newness has worn off and ps5 is closing in on 100 million consoles sold and Xbox is way behind they will announce the definitive edition for PlayStation with all dlc.
