PlayStation cancels Fairgames, and Haven Studios keeps its staff
The online shooter announced in 2023 will not ship. PlayStation says no one loses a job and the studio will help on other games in the division.
Fairgames, the online shooter from Haven Studios that was announced in 2023 for PS5 and PC, has been canceled by PlayStation. Reporter Jason Schreier broke the news on X on Tuesday, along with the company's position: nobody will lose a job over the decision.
Haven stays open. The studio will move to supporting other games inside PlayStation's organization.
The game was introduced on May 24, 2023, on the PlayStation Blog under the name Fairgame$, billed as a competitive heist experience. It rarely appeared in public again.
Jade Raymond founded Haven in 2021. Sony Interactive Entertainment announced it was buying the studio on March 21, 2022.
For players, the change is simple: there will be no Fairgames on PS5. After years in development, another PlayStation live-service project goes unreleased.
PlayStation has not given its reasons for the cancellation or said which games Haven will work on.
