Sony cancels live-service shooter Fairgames
The Fairgames cancellation won’t result in job cuts, and developer Haven Studios will now support other PlayStation studios, Bloomberg reports. The game was canceled following a recent test where “player feedback and retention results were mixed and fell short of the goals we had set,” according to part of an executive memo published by Bloomberg, which also cited “challenging market conditions in the PVP shooter genre.” Sony acquired Haven Studios in 2022.
