PlayStation has cancelled Fairgames, the online heist shooter Haven Studios revealed in 2023. Unusually for a cancellation, nobody is losing their job over it. PlayStation says no jobs will be cut, and Haven’s team will move on to support other games inside PlayStation Studios.
Jason Schreier broke the news for Bloomberg on Tuesday afternoon, along with the no-layoffs statement from PlayStation.
Haven’s staff stay on and move to other PlayStation games
Game cancellations often come with layoffs, so keeping the whole team is the notable part of this one. PlayStation hasn’t said which games Haven will help with or whether the studio will pitch a new project of its own.
PlayStation hasn’t said how far along Fairgames was or why it was stopped. We’ll update this story if Haven or PlayStation shares more.
Fairgames was revealed in 2023 and lost its founder in 2025
Fairgames, stylized Fairgame$, was revealed with a CGI trailer at the PlayStation Showcase in May 2023. It was an online multiplayer heist game where crews rob the ultra rich, and it was planned for PS5 and PC. It was the first project at Haven, the Montreal studio Sony bought in 2022.
Haven founder Jade Raymond left the studio in 2025. Soon after, an analyst claimed on a podcast that Fairgames had been cancelled, then walked the claim back and said he had no information on the game at all. PlayStation said at the time that it remained committed to Haven. Tuesday’s news is the first confirmed cancellation.
