Physint, the new video game from Hideo Kojima that was presented alongside Sony, will now be published by Xbox. Microsoft confirmed the agreement and expanded its relationship with Kojima Productions.
According to IGN, the project is still in development and joins the horror game OD within the alliance between the Japanese studio and Xbox.

Xbox will publish Physint instead of Sony
The agreement establishes that Xbox will be the publisher of Physint, a project that can be considered a spiritual successor to Metal Gear Solid.
The relationship between Microsoft and Kojima Productions also includes OD, the horror video game that will be released before Physint.
Additionally, both parties will expand their partnership beyond video games to also work in film and television.

“This expands our relationship with Xbox beyond OD,” stated Hideo Kojima. The developer added that they aim to redefine the action and espionage genre.
Why Physint stopped being a PlayStation project
Kojima explained on X how the change of partner occurred. According to his post, in mid-June he received a notification from PlayStation Studios about the cancellation of Physint.

The project was important for both Kojima Productions and Kojima himself. Therefore, the studio spent three months searching for a new partner.
Finally, the team found in Xbox an ally with a shared vision for the future. Kojima confirmed that the development of Physint continues.
