## Key points

- Sony has cancelled Haven Studio’s *Fairgames*.
- A recent test showed mixed feedback and weak retention.
- Haven will remain open as a PlayStation support team.

## Summary

Sony has cancelled *Fairgames*, a live service shooter for PS5 and PC that had been in development at Haven Studio for more than three years. The decision follows a recent test in which player feedback and retention fell short of the company’s targets, amid difficult conditions for player-versus-player shooters.

Haven will remain open and no staff will lose their jobs, but it will become a support team within PlayStation Studios. The game was announced at a PlayStation Showcase alongside *Concord* and *Helldivers 2*, but little was publicly shown afterwards. Its cancellation joins several other abandoned PlayStation live service projects, while *Concord* was taken offline two weeks after release.
