Sony confirms it is stepping away from collaborating on Hideo Kojima Productions’ “action espionage” project Physint, and Xbox has taken over publishing the game. The news follows earlier attempts by PlayStation to cancel the project, according to one report.
Multiple outlets describe Physint as a stealth action title from Kojima Productions, announced as a PlayStation exclusive in 2024. PlayStation says it makes the “difficult decision” to stop collaborating, while continuing to express admiration for Kojima’s vision. Eurogamer also reports that PlayStation’s departure comes for reasons that are not disclosed.
Outlets differ slightly in framing: one highlights that the change could improve prospects for a PC release, while another focuses on the transfer of publishing responsibilities to Xbox. Overall, the reporting converges on the same core development—Sony exits the project and Xbox moves in as publisher—without providing further details about the project’s timeline or platform plans beyond the publishing shift.
