Sony PlayStation has canceled the online shooter 'Fairgames,' developed by its Montreal-based Haven Studios. A recent test involving thousands of players fell short of expectations, with mixed player feedback and retention data. Given the challenging market environment for the PvP shooter genre, the company decided to halt development. This cancellation does not involve layoffs, and Haven will transition to supporting other studios within the group. 'Fairgames' was announced in 2023 as part of PlayStation's live-service game strategy, has been reworked multiple times over the past three years, and was originally planned to be reintroduced under a new name.
