Death Stranding Franchise Likely Barely Broke Even, Could Explain Sony Dropping Physint – Analyst
An analyst suggests that Sony Interactive Entertainment's decision to drop funding for Hideo Kojima's upcoming game, Physint, is likely due to the underperformance of the Death Stranding franchise. Despite the games' critical reception, both Death Stranding and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach have reportedly struggled to break even financially for Sony, leading the company to become more cautious with high-budget projects. Xbox has since stepped in to support Physint.
