Upcoming PS5 Exclusive Might Be in Serious Trouble

Another major PS5 console exclusive appears to be in development hell, as we continue to receive one disappointing update after another. Although there’s been no announcement from Sony, fans have discovered that “thrilling” heist experience Fairgames has just lost its game director.

PS5 exclusive Fairgames has lost both studio founder and game director

Fairgames is one of Sony’s ambitious live service projects that survived recent cuts and cancellations that affected nearly a dozen games. But we saw the first signs of trouble when its developer, Haven Studios, lost founder Jade Raymond.

It’s widely assumed that Raymond was ousted after a Bloomberg report revealed that her departure followed Fairgames’ external testing, which was poorly received. Sony only acknowledged Raymond’s departure after the company was contacted for comment.

As spotted by a Reddit user over the weekend, Haven Studio game director Daniel Drapeau ended a 4.5-year run at Sony in August, and is now working at WB Games. Considering Fairgames was expected in 2026, this certainly isn’t a positive update. Not only did the game fail external testing, but it also lost both its studio founder and game director in quick succession.

Recently, a rumor about Fairgames’ cancellation was debunked, but at this point, we wouldn’t be surprised if that actually ends up happening.
