Sony Cancels Fairgames After Years of Work on PS5 Live Service Shooter

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.
