Fairgames reportedly cancelled as Haven shifts to PlayStation support
Sony says Haven Studios will avoid job cuts and move into support work for other PlayStation teams.
PlayStation's multiplayer shooter Fairgames has been cancelled, Bloomberg reports, according to Game Developer. A Sony spokesperson said developer Haven Studios would retain its staff and switch to supporting other PlayStation studios.
The change redirects Haven from developing its debut game to contributing to projects elsewhere within PlayStation. For its developers, Sony's stated plan means a change in responsibilities without job cuts, rather than the studio closing alongside its only announced project.
PlayStation acquired Haven in 2022 with Fairgames as its sole project. The game was announced at a PlayStation showcase in May 2023, led by creative director Mathieu Leduc, who co-founded Haven with Jade Raymond in 2021.
Bloomberg identified Fairgames as part of PlayStation's push into live-service games. Its reported cancellation removes that title from the initiative while Sony says the team will remain.
