Report: PlayStation's Fairgames cancelled, Haven Studios stays on in support role

Fairgames (stylized FAIRGAME$), the online multiplayer shooter from PlayStation's internal developer Haven Studios, has been cancelled, according to a new Bloomberg report. Game Developer relayed the report on 11 November 2026.

Despite the cancellation, a Sony spokesperson said Haven Studios will not suffer job cuts. The studio will shift to a support role for other PlayStation studios.

Fairgames was Haven's debut title. It was announced in May 2023 at a PlayStation showcase and led by creative director and Haven co-founder Mathieu Leduc. Leduc was previously art director on Assassin's Creed 2, Watch Dogs and Watch Dogs 2. He founded Haven in 2021 with producer Jade Raymond. PlayStation acquired the studio in 2022, when Fairgames was its only project.

After the 2023 reveal, the game largely disappeared from public view. Game Developer says the cancellation is the first news about it in over three years.

The Bloomberg story notes that Fairgames was part of a PlayStation initiative to produce a number of live-service games. Game Developer describes the initiative as producing many cancelled projects and few successes, with some games pulled shortly after release, such as Concord. It also says multiple studios under the PlayStation umbrella, including Bluepoint and London Studio, have closed in recent years because of cancellations from the initiative.
