Hideo Kojima responds to partnership with Sony
At the “Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase” recently, Phil Spencer announced a “special partnership” with Hideo Kojima’s company to create a “new experience.” Hideo Kojima also confirmed that he will use Microsoft’s cloud technology to build the game, saying that it is the game he has always wanted to create, saying that “no one has ever experienced or seen it.” It is rumored that the two parties are working together on a cloud-native game, and Xbox has a dedicated team to handle related technical issues.

When Microsoft and Hideo Kojima announced their new partnership, many people asked Hideo Kojima about their future relationship with Sony, but the cooperation between the two parties was affected. Hideo Kojima responded through his studio’s account, assuring that the cooperation on the PlayStation platform is still very strong and that this good relationship will continue in the future.
Hideo Kojima said that as an independent creative studio, Kojima Productions will continue to carry out creative work for its fans. As time goes on and technology develops, Kojima Productions will continue to explore possibilities in games, movies, and music, and looks forward to the continued support of fans.
Some time ago, Sony updated the PlayStation Studios cover art to feature Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding in the first-party studio’s lineup of games. In theory, all of the studios that appear here should be owned by Sony. Sony hasn’t explained this so far, and there’s speculation that the change could hint at some sort of relationship between Sony and Kojima Productions.
