Kojima's Physint Moves From PlayStation to Xbox as Development Continues
Hideo Kojima's new title Physint has changed partners, shifting from PlayStation to Xbox while development continues. Sony decided in June 2026 to cancel the project, and the two sides ended their collaboration in summer 2026. Cost overruns, missed milestone targets and other production issues were cited as reasons for Sony's exit. Kojima Productions has since secured Xbox support, with talks lasting several months. No timeline has been set for future development milestones or trailers.
Hideo Kojima's new title Physint has changed partners, moving from PlayStation to Xbox, with development of the project continuing.
Sony decided in June 2026 to cancel Physint, and the two sides ended their collaboration in summer 2026. Production costs exceeding the original budget, failure to meet stage targets on schedule and other production issues were all cited as reasons for Sony's exit. The two sides have not yet announced full arrangements.
After Sony's exit, Kojima Productions sought a new partner for Physint. Xbox will provide support starting from the project's existing progress, and negotiations between Xbox and Kojima Productions lasted several months. Physint is positioned as an espionage stealth action game. There is currently no clear timetable for the project's subsequent development milestones, trailers or further information. A PC version is also planned alongside the Xbox console version; whether the two versions will launch simultaneously has not been confirmed.
