I thought I remember Xbox doing the the same thing for free to play Xbox games a couple years ago

I don't own an Xbox so I am not quite sure, but I don't think it applies in quite the same way, namely that in order to play Final Fantasy XIV on Xbox, I read that you need a Gamepass subscription in addition to the game subscription itself, which is not a requirement on PlayStation.

But for truly free to play games, maybe.
