Overview
- Xbox and KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS confirmed a new partnership that transfers development of the stealth action game PHYSINT to Xbox and keeps the project active.
- PlayStation Studios said it has stepped away from collaborating on PHYSINT, ending its prior role on the project.
- Hideo Kojima said he received notice of PlayStation’s cancellation and then searched for a new partner before teaming with Xbox to continue work on the game.
- The deal covers more than games and explicitly includes collaboration on film and television, and Xbox CEO Asha Sharma publicly welcomed Kojima’s choice.
- Key details remain unclear, including whether Xbox will publish PHYSINT exclusively, the game’s release timing, and the current stage of development, a shift that highlights platform competition over top creators.
