## Key points

- Haven staff will support other PlayStation Studios teams.
- The game had been delayed, reworked and kept from public view.

## Summary

PlayStation has cancelled Fairgames, its co-operative heist shooter developed by Haven, after a recent playtest drew mixed feedback and retention results that fell short of targets. The decision reflects the difficulty of competing in the crowded player-versus-player shooter market and adds to the setbacks in Sony’s effort to build a slate of games supported by ongoing revenue.

Sony told staff on Tuesday that the test showed strong operational readiness and community engagement, but did not meet its goals for player response and retention. Haven will remain open, and its developers will support other PlayStation Studios teams. Announced in 2023 and once planned for 2025, Fairgames was delayed to 2026, reworked several times and never shown publicly again; reports linked it to the possible new name Break In.
