Hideo Kojima’s upcoming action-espionage game will be published by Xbox instead of PlayStation. In a flurry of announcements from Kojima, Xbox and PlayStation, it was revealed that the PS5 maker dropped Kojima’s next game, Physint, back in June.

The shock announcement started when PlayStation tweeted that it was dropping Physint. “After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to step away from collaborating with Kojima Productions on its project Physint,” Sony’s gaming division said in a post on X. It added that it looked forward to continued “close collaboration” with Kojima’s studio in the future.
