Following news that Microsoft has acquired Psychonauts 2 developer Double Fine Productions, now-former Psychonauts 2 publisher Starbreeze has announced that it assigned the game’s publishing rights to Microsoft in exchange for $13.2 million.

Starbreeze originally picked up the publishing rights for Psychonauts 2 in 2017 with a commitment to invest $8 million in the game's development.

It probably is easier to not change any plans (after all, work had already gone into the PS4 version).
Besides, good PR.

Technically, yes, it will be a little bit of a "Microsoft Word for Mac" situation, but I think it's likely that DoubleFine will just be listed as the publisher.

(Minecraft for Nintendo and PlayStation products just list Mojang as the publisher even in the retail releases, while on Xbox the "Microsoft Studios" label is on the box and on the website.)
