PlayStation's Dreams game creator to end live support in September

Media Molecule has announced that it will be ending live support for its game creation engine, Dreams, on September 1st, 2023. While players will still be able to create content, there won't be any more updates or community-centered events. Dreams creators won't be able to export their games elsewhere, and the game's support ending makes it unlikely that this feature will be added. Media Molecule is working on a new project that is not related to Dreams.
