Report: PlayStation ended Kojima Productions' Physint over budget, profitability and exclusivity concerns

Bloomberg reports that PlayStation ended its involvement with Kojima Productions' Physint over concerns about budget, potential profitability and exclusivity. Sources said the project had missed deadlines and was on track to be well over budget despite being years from release, and that Death Stranding and its sequel On the Beach did not meet PlayStation's revenue expectations. Hideo Kojima said last Thursday his studio unexpectedly received notice in mid-June that PlayStation would cancel Physint, and Kojima Productions has since found a new partner in Xbox.
