According to Paul Tassi, Sony no longer working with Kojima on PHYSINT means Kojima Productions has reportedly lost access to Sony’s Decima engine.
Both Death Stranding games were built with Decima, a graphics engine considered one of the best and central to the look and tech of Kojima games. They will have to switch to UE or one of the engines Xbox has.
There’s unconfirmed information that Sony/PlayStation made multiple attempts to acquire Kojima Productions, but Hideo Kojima repeatedly turned them down, including the latest offer.
If they lost access to Decima, PHYSINT could take even more time to develop while they work on another engine.

Today, we are excited to confirm that our journey with PHYSINT continues with Asha(@asha_shar) and the team at XBOX.
XBOX understands and shares our bold creative vision, and this expands our relationship with XBOX beyond OD. As we move forward with the development of PHYSINT, we remain committed to redefining the action-espionage genre for players around the world.

PlayStation in 2026:
- End Destiny
- End physical gaming forever
- End porting exclusives to PC
- Completely lose Hideo Kojima
- Attempt to cancel Kojima's next Metal Gear franchise
- Kojima cuts ties entirely and goes to XBOX
- Force your single-player studios to make live service games
- Concord happens
- Proceed to cancel most of them, losing years of development time and billions of dollars
- Buy Bluepoint and have them make a live-service rather than remakes
- Close Bluepoint down before they release any games
- Start selling vertical stands separately rather than have them come with the console
- Console prices at an all-time high
Genuinely... what is going on at Sony. disaster after disaster, huge L after L. They were my favorite gaming company throughout the PS4 generation but genuinely, how do you lose EVERYONE this fast? Meanwhile, XBOX is taking full advantage of this and priming a major comeback next generation. A literal generational fumble happening at Sony.

PlayStation thought the game was called physical and had to back out
As confirmed earlier through our official channels, in mid-June of this year, we unexpectedly received notice from PlayStation Studios that they would cancel the PHYSINT project. PHYSINT is an important project both to me personally and to KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS. Determined to keep the project alive, we have spent the last three months searching tirelessly for a new partner. In the course of seeking advice and pursuing negotiations with people across many fields, we found in XBOX a partner with whom we share a common vision for the future, and we have decided to team up with them once again. Please rest assured that development of PHYSINT, our genre-defining action-espionage title, is ongoing and will continue moving forward.

Barely clothed Eve. Low-angle shot is a straight-up foul.
Straps cinching every single curve — look up and you’ve already lost.
This outfit exists solely to make people sin.

The atmosphere in The Blood of Dawnwalker is utterly immaculate. At night time during the rain in Svartrau City as a vampire.
The soundtrack, the soundscape, the touches of gothic art, it is all peak.

John Linneman of Digital Foundry says publishers and developers are unhappy with Sony’s push toward a disc-less PlayStation future.
“They were largely very upset. A lot of these companies see a lot of return, in fact a majority, through physical sales. … The industry side of things is not positive.”
Washington Post journalist also said he was glad to see more people confirming the concerns, adding:
“these are not just ‘rumors’”
Now let’s see if more people start talking about this

Rockstar says GTA 6 is so massive that even the development team may not know every part of Leonida.
Rob Nelson, Rockstar’s head of development and co-studio head, told IGN:
“The game is so big, I don’t know that there’s anybody on the team that knows all of it.”
Rockstar says the focus has been on expanding the ideas that made previous GTA games successful and give players more freedom.

Rumors from Gamescom suggest Sony may be reconsidering its plans to move further toward digital-only PlayStation releases due to Xbox 100% physical strategy
According to Eurogamer Spain, some publishers are discussing how Sony’s approach to physical games could leave an opening for competitors to change their own strategies.
Microsoft is reportedly telling publishers that its next console, Project Helix, will be “100% physical,” with the ability to convert physical games into digital licenses.
Another claim says a major game maker has allegedly told Sony that it could skip PlayStation for one of its biggest upcoming titles if Sony cannot guarantee a physical release.
These are just rumors unverified
