Is Sony asking for PlayStation VR support as a concession in the Xbox-Activision deal?

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 Season 1 Launch Event

An interesting snippet in the most recent Xbox-Activision regulatory responses may offer a glimpse at how Sony is angling to get at least something out of the big Microsoft acquisition.

Most regulators and industry figures are positive about the deal, which would see competing cloud firms given access to Call of Duty and other Activision-Blizzard titles. One big opponent of the deal is Sony PlayStation, which worries that Call of Duty on Xbox Game Pass will hinder its profitability, given that many users may ditch the $70 yearly Call of Duty for a $10 per month Xbox Game Pass subscription instead.
