PlayStation Game Officially Canceled After 5 Years

It's been confirmed that Fairgames (stylized as Fairgame$) is being shut down by PlayStation. With the PS5 generation, PlayStation has invested heavily in the live-service space, to significantly mixed results. PlayStation's live-service ambitions have seen more misses than hits, with Helldivers 2 proving to be a runaway success, but Concord shut down within weeks after its launch and The Last of Us online multiplayer game ultimately scrapped.

Even though PlayStation's live-service efforts have not been all that successful, it has forged ahead with efforts to enter the space with games like Bungie's Marathon and the long-in-development Fairgames. Fairgames, for the uninitiated, started development in 2021 at Haven Studios, a company founded by Jade Raymond, best known for her work with Ubisoft. Raymond left the company in 2025, and behind-the-scenes reports about Fairgames have been consistently unfavorable.

PlayStation 5 users can now pre-order the Prism collection ahead of its 2027 release.

Now it seems that Sony has decided to pull the plug on Fairgames after five years in development. This was confirmed by Bloomberg in a new report that claimed Fairgames had been "reworked several times" and that there were plans to re-reveal it with a brand-new title. Apparently, the final nail in the coffin for Fairgames was a playtest that did not meet the company's expectations. Instead of potentially dealing with another Concord situation where a live-service game is released and then promptly shut down, PlayStation made the call to cancel the game before it could finish development.
