Kojima Posts Photo From Sony City After PHYSINT Pullout
The photo lands weeks after Sony ended the PHYSINT partnership, so the visit is the first public signal of how the two sides stand now.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Hideo Kojima posted a photo with the caption "I visited Sony City," which Game Spark reads as pointing to the NBF Osaki Building that houses Sony City Osaki. The post drew roughly 14,000 likes in Japan and 41,000 overseas. In September 2026, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced it was ending its partnership with Kojima Productions on the espionage game PHYSINT.
The photo showed a building rather than a person, which is unusual for a Kojima post. Judging by the exterior, the location is likely the NBF Osaki Building, home to Sony City Osaki, a main Sony Group office.
Kojima Productions and Sony have a long working history: Death Stranding arrived in 2019, followed by Death Stranding 2: On the Beach in 2025, both PlayStation-first releases. PHYSINT was announced at State of Play in 2024, with cast announced in 2025, before SIE ended the partnership in September 2026.
