Looking at the recent Game Pass deals MS has done with Indie devs (Tunic, Death Doors, Vampire Survivors, Power Wash Simulator, Scorn, Lies of P, Atomic Heart, etc) indeed doesn't look like MS is interested in paying extra money for full exclusivity, so I agree with you on that one, but then again, none of those games blew up like this one, so it remains to be seen if: 1) The viral success of this game sparked MS's interest enough to make an offer, and 2) If the devs will accept whatever amoun t Microsoft might offer; I mean, their value in the market has just skyrocketed so it would have to be a pretty sizeable amount.

But regardless, the developers already said that they will consider a PS5 port in the future so, even if they start working on it today, it will not come to playstation anytime soon.

I don't think Microsoft will pay for exclusivity or rather, pay to make an already released game remain only on their console for longer, they've had stuff like Roblox in the past which was a massive game, exclusive to Xbox for years but I don't believe they ever paid them, it was honestly weird as hell that Roblox didn't come to PlayStation sooner.

If I'm a developer with a game which blows up like this, I'd want it on as many platforms ASAP so there's probably no reasonable amount that Microsoft could offer them but they're a small developer, Xbox has looser early access rules and the PS port isn't in development yet so it likely has at least 6 months of exclusivity for Xbox.

That being said, I really want it to release on Switch for maximum chaos.

I actually meant that Microsoft could make an offer to acquire the studio, but you are correct, with Microsoft is almost impossible to know what exactly they would deem worthy of making exclusive and what not. But regardless, I think it is obvious that the developers are not working with a Playstation version at the moment, so again, even if they start working on it today, it will not be released on other platforms anytime soon.
