Sony's game developer Jade Raymond's project Fairgame$ has reportedly been canceled, highlighting Sony's struggles with its shift to live service games, criticized by analyst Michael Pachter who also claims Sony has lost its way in managing its gaming strategy.
Sony's live service strategy may not work if it continues to produce generic shooters like Fairgame$ and Concord, which were revealed during the recent PS Showcase. The live service model is a business model, not a genre, and there is a lot of variety in the sector. However, the two titles revealed by Sony did not offer anything innovative or original, and may struggle to survive in an increasingly competitive environment. Sony needs to produce games with their own identities that offer something new to players if it wants to succeed in the live service market.
PlayStation has announced Fairgame$, a heist-themed multiplayer action game from Assassin's Creed boss Jade Raymond's PlayStation studio, Haven. The game is a live-service title and will be available on PlayStation 5 and PC, but no release date has been announced yet. Fairgame$ is a competitive heist game where players join an underground movement to rob the ultra-rich and rebalance the scales. Sony plans to release 12 live-service games over the coming years and will continue to support single-player games.
