AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Sony’s PlayStation Studios has cancelled the Haven‑developed live‑service shooter Fairgames after a recent playtest revealed mixed player feedback and retention that fell short of targets. The decision, announced to staff on Tuesday, cited operational strengths but poor engagement and a tough PvP shooter market. Haven will remain open, with its team reassigned to other PlayStation Studios projects. Fairgames, originally slated for a 2025 release, had faced multiple delays and leadership changes before its cancellation.
