Covered by 2 sources · 2 articles
PlayStation Studios has exited its publishing deal with Kojima Productions on PHYSINT, the espionage-action title from veteran director Hideo Kojima. Xbox has stepped in to assume publishing duties, marking an expansion of the existing partnership between the platform holder and the studio. The shift represents a notable publishing shuffle in a high-profile independent project, with Kojima Productions retaining creative control while finding new financial backing for the multiplatform release.
- PlayStation pulled publishing support; Xbox now handles distribution for the action-espionage game.
- The move expands an already-established Xbox and Kojima Productions relationship rather than launching a new one.
- Kojima Productions maintains creative independence under the new arrangement.
