The budget allocated to PHYSINT by XBOX is reportedly significantly lower than the one from PlayStation

XBOX may have scored a great deal by signing PHYSINT, the upcoming action-stealth game by Kojima Productioons. However, in a podcast from The Game Business, it's been reported that the game's budget amounted to $400 million.

However, Jason Schreier and Windows Central subsequently stepped in to state that this figure actually corresponded to the amount Hideo Kojima had requested from PlayStation. The amount paid by Xbox is reportedly significantly lower than the $400 million previously mentioned.

Furthermore, the deal reportedly includes not only the video game PHYSINT, but also rights for potential movies and TV series based on the franchise, as well as "improved terms" for OD, the survival-horror game produced in partnership with XBOX.
