Xbox and Kojima Productions Form Partnership for "PHYSINT"!

Hideo Kojima, founder of Kojima Productions, detailed the background of this expanded partnership on his official X account ( @Kojima_Hideo ).
According to Kojima, in mid-June 2026, Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) suddenly notified them that the "PHYSINT" project was being canceled, putting the project’s future in jeopardy.
He explained that after spending the next three months searching for a new partner, this led to the current partnership with Xbox.

Comment from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma

Creators have the freedom to choose where and how they bring their ideas to life.
We are honored that they chose Xbox as a partner to work on “PHYSINT” alongside Kojima Productions, led by Mr. Kojima.
His approach to challenging conventional wisdom embodies the very kind of creativity that Xbox is committed to supporting.
