Xbox Reportedly Paying A Fraction of What Sony Was Paying Kojima for Physint Deal

Expert Verified By

The Deal With PlayStation Was Reportedly For $400 Million!

Story Highlight

  • New rumor points to a $400 million budget for Physint, when Sony was handling it. 
  • Xbox reportedly got a great deal and paid a fraction of that amount to Kojima. 
  • The deal isn’t even just for a game, but a whole franchise with movies, shows, etc. 

Sony recently had another major controversy that led to them parting ways with Hideo Kojima for his Physint game. Xbox has now struck a deal to publish the game, and they were also reportedly able to get a great deal with the studio. 

A new report reveals that Xbox paid Kojima a fraction of what PlayStation was paying for the Physint deal. More importantly, the deal with Xbox isn’t just for a game; it’s for a whole franchise that could become movies, anime, and more.

Why it matters: The reported amount that Sony was paying just for the game seems to be somewhere close to $400 million, which is humongous. It’ll be interesting to see the exact amount Xbox paid for the deal. 

Physint
PS was reportedly paying Kojima a massive $400 million for the Physint deal

A new report came out yesterday revealing that Kojima has been paid $400 million for Physint. This was later negated by Windows Central, who claim that the company paid nowhere near that rumored amount. 

There were reports that Sony gave up on Physint due to budget concerns, and now, if the rumored budget is to be believed, this was a ridiculously high amount to pay since Kojima games don’t generally overwhelm in sales. 

Xbox got a great deal and paid only a fraction of that amount

Anyhow, Xbox seems to have made things work with a lot less money. Kojima stated that following Sony’s cancellation, he was worried about his studio, so he might not have cared too much about getting the same amount again.
