It was one of the bombs that exploded during the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase. Phil Spencer announced that Microsoft was partnering with Hideo Kojima to shape a project never seen before. This was stated by the Japanese official, who limited himself to indicating that his idea take advantage of the possibilities of cloud technology.
A collaboration that many have believed distances Kojima Productions from its relationship with Sony. However, nothing is further from reality. Through the official Twitter account, the studio has clarified that its relationship with PlayStation has not suffered one iota.
After the announcement of our partnership with Microsoft using the cloud technology, many people have asked us about our collaboration with SIE. Please be assured that we continue to have a very good partnership with PlayStation® as well.#KojimaProductions https://t.co/mVOELwDuk9

Following the announcement of our partnership with Microsoft using cloud technology, many people have asked us about our collaboration with SIE. Rest assured, we also continue to have a very good partnership with PlayStation.
And it is that not only the independent study of Hideo Kojima has been linked to PlayStation, but also much of the creative’s career is related to Sony. Death Stranding is a console exclusive for PlayStation systems, while other works like Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots there is no other way to play it than on a PS3.
Therefore, right now it only remains to wait until Kojima decides to offer more details about what he is up to. It is not clear if this collaboration with Xbox has to do with Overdose, which aims to be his next work with Margaret Qualley at the helm.
