Blurring the boundaries between film and games, offering near life-like graphics and a new take on interactive entertainment.

An update from PlayStation Studios:

After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to step away from collaborating with KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS on its project Physint. We continue to have great admiration for Hideo Kojima's vision for the game.

Our relationship remains strong after three decades of industry-leading, genre-defining creative cooperation, and we look forward to continued close collaboration with Hideo Kojima and his award-winning independent studio in the future.

KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS statement:

Today, we are excited to confirm that our journey with PHYSINT continues with Asha and the team at XBOX.

XBOX understands and shares our bold creative vision, and this expands our relationship with XBOX beyond OD. As we move forward with the development of PHYSINT, we remain committed to redefining the action-espionage genre for players around the world.

XBOX and KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS Expand Partnership to Publish PHYSINT

Hideo Kojima has spent his career challenging conventions and expanding what games can be. Today, KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS announced the next chapter of its partnership with XBOX. 

“Creators have choices about where and how they bring their ideas to life. We’re honored that Kojima-san has chosen XBOX to work with KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS on PHYSINT. His ambition to challenge conventions reflects the kind of creativity we want to support at XBOX,” said Asha Sharma, XBOX CEO. 

“This expands our relationship with XBOX beyond OD. As we move forward with the development of PHYSINT, we remain committed to redefining the action-espionage genre for players around the world,” said Hideo Kojima, Game Creator and Founder of KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS. 

In addition to OD and PHYSINT, this relationship will also extend beyond games, with XBOX and KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS collaborating across film and television to bring new stories to broader audiences. 

We look forward to sharing more as development progresses.
