Quick Report

Kojima Productions says PlayStation canceled the in-development Physint project in mid-June 2026, and the studio is now moving forward with Xbox as a partner. Hideo Kojima said the team searched for a new publisher after the cancellation, ultimately landing on a partnership that keeps the project alive.

The original Physint reveal was tied to PlayStation, but the recent announcement makes it clear the project has been reworked around a new publishing arrangement. The timing is notable because it follows broader signals that Sony is becoming more selective about exclusive projects and platform priorities, even as Kojima continues to push a high-concept action game with a strong single-player identity.
