Eurogamer reported that Sony has cancelled Fairgames, the co-op heist shooter that Haven was developing for PlayStation, after a recent playtest. Eurogamer said the studio is not closing or laying off staff, and a PlayStation spokesperson confirmed that Haven developers will support other PlayStation Studios teams while they explore new creative opportunities. Citing a Bloomberg report, Eurogamer said Sony told staff on Tuesday that the playtest had shown strong operational excellence but mixed player feedback and retention that fell short of goals. Executives Sean Decker and John Doyle reportedly wrote to staff that challenging market conditions in the PvP shooter genre also factored into the decision. Fairgames was announced in 2023 as part of former PlayStation boss Jim Ryan's push for recurring-revenue live service games, a push that has had a poor record, including Concord. The game was first due in 2025, later moved to 2026, and lost studio founder Jade Raymond and game director Daniel Drapeau along the way. Eurogamer reported that it was reworked several times and may have been due to return as Break In, a name linked to a trademark Sony filed in May, but the cancellation means that is now unclear.
