I haven't delved into the rumour but Sony has a marketing deal with Capcom for the game, so keeping it off something like Gamepass would seem a natural part of that deal? 

Marketing deal rights is one thing than keeping away the game from appearing on services like GP.

The rumour that he’s suggesting is some contracts that companies like Sony (and MS) make with developers about adding all the possible features of a game if the console is possible to run it, like HDR, resolution, etc. 

But nothing related to not adding the game to GP, it’s more to the fact that Capcom knows the game will sell decently on Xbox consoles and the revenue will be more than what MS would offer them for the game to be day one on GP. 

Your marketing deal is redundant if your competitor can market said game as $9.99 on their platform. Thats just bad business.
