Overview
- PlayStation posted that it was stepping away from PHYSINT after notifying Kojima Productions in June 2026 that it would cancel the project.
- Xbox announced it will publish PHYSINT and said the partnership will also cover future film and television projects with Kojima Productions.
- Kojima and his studio say development is ongoing and that they spent roughly three months searching for a new publisher before landing the Xbox deal.
- Reporting sourced to Bloomberg says Sony’s decision was driven by rising costs, missed deadlines and reluctance to fund a title that would not stay permanently exclusive.
- The move increases the likelihood of a PC release but platform details and any exclusivity terms have not been confirmed and could affect how Kojima funds and distributes future projects.
