## Summary

Sony has reportedly cancelled Fairgame$, the online multiplayer shooter that had been missing from public view since its 2023 reveal. The decision highlights the difficulty Sony has faced pursuing live-service games, as the market for PvP shooters remains challenging.

An internal memo said a recent test involving thousands of players showed mixed feedback and retention below expectations, despite strong operational readiness and community engagement. The game, developed by Haven Studios, had reportedly shifted from a heist focus towards extraction gameplay; no job cuts are expected, and Haven will support other studios.
