Part of situation: Kojima Productions and PlayStation partnership dissolution (14 clusters)

Physint moves from PlayStation to Xbox after Sony partnership ends

Hideo Kojima’s upcoming action-espionage title, Physint, has shifted from PlayStation to Xbox following a breakdown in the partnership with Sony. Kojima Productions reported that Sony abruptly cancelled its involvement in June 2026.

Reports suggest Sony’s decision was driven by several factors, including the commercial performance of the Death Stranding series, budget overruns, and missed development milestones. Additionally, Sony was reportedly reluctant to fund a high-budget title that would not remain a permanent PlayStation exclusive.

Following a three-month search for a new partner, Kojima Productions secured an agreement with Microsoft. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma recently visited the studio in Tokyo to solidify the collaboration, which will include development on Physint and the horror project OD.

The transition may present technical challenges, as Kojima Productions reportedly lost access to Sony’s proprietary Decima Engine. This could necessitate a move to a new engine, potentially impacting development timelines and costs. Physint is expected to be released for Xbox and PC.
