Kojima Productions moving PHYSINT to Xbox

One-time PlayStation exclusive to now be published by Microsoft

In some shocking news, Sony and Kojima Productions have called off their collaboration for PHYSINT. The project is meant to be a stealth action game, with Hideo Kojima hoping that it would also include Film as a part of its overall experience.

There’s currently no reason given for why this happened, but with the current monetary situation in the world economy we can see the finances of the development being an issue.

Just moments after Sony announced the news Kojima-san posted the following tweet, noting how the cancellation notice happened in June and left him with three months to find a new partner. And he did!

As Kojima explains, PHYSINT will now be published, exclusively, by Xbox. This is alongside the already confirmed OD being an Xbox exclusive. After two Death Strandings with PlayStation, KojiPro seems to be moving to Xbox as its prime platform. This could also mean that maybe there won’t be as much of a wait to get the games on PC release, too.

More information can be found at Xbox’s news blog, bot for the time being this could be a monumental shift in the gaming industry, at least for fans of Kojima’s work.
