Sony cancels another live service game ahead of release, but at least there won't be any layoffs this time
Fairgames was revealed in 2023, but nothing more was ever seen of it.
Sony has announced the cancellation of Fairgames, a PvP heist shooter, ahead of its release. This comes as part of the company's ongoing struggle with live service games. However, there will be no layoffs as a result, according to a PlayStation representative. Haven Studios, the developer behind Fairgames, will instead shift its focus to partnering with other development teams at PlayStation Studios and exploring new creative opportunities.
The cancellation follows a series of setbacks for the project, including negative feedback from both playtests and market conditions, leading to a decision to cease development. Despite the cancellation, 2026 remains a year filled with upcoming games across various genres on PlayStation platforms.
