## Resource

Sony’s backing of Hideo Kojima’s next project, codenamed PHYSINT, is reportedly ending due to ballooning costs and missed deadlines — a move influenced by underwhelming sales of his previous PlayStation exclusives and leadership changes at Sony. With key supporters gone, the reins are now being handed to Xbox, which is stepping in to fund and publish the game, seeing it as a golden opportunity to land a major new IP. Xbox is confident in Kojima’s vision, betting big on his ability to deliver another groundbreaking title — and the world is watching to see if this new partnership can turn around the project’s fortunes.
