What to know

  • Xbox now publishes Physint after Sony stepped away from the originally PlayStation-funded project.
  • Kojima said Xbox—not his studio—will decide whether Physint releases on PlayStation, and he doesn't know that decision yet.
  • Kojima Productions emphasized its relationship with PlayStation remains strong despite the publisher change and disputed Bloomberg reporting on the split.

“the claims are not from any 'official or on-the-record source', and thus they should be taken with a 'dose of scepticism'”

    Kojima Productions says PlayStation relationship remains strong

    “I don't know the answer to that—that would be a question for Xbox. But I don't know for sure.”
