Fairgame$: Everything We Know About Sony’s New Competitive Heist Game

Sony is continuing its push into the live-service market with Fairgame$, an upcoming competitive heist game for PS5 and PC. Developed by Haven Studios, led by former Assassin’s Creed boss Jade Raymond, Fairgame$ aims to offer a fresh take on the heist genre.

Release Window

While no official release date has been announced, reports suggest Fairgame$ may be targeting a 2026 launch. The game was first revealed in 2023 but appears to have slipped from its original internal release timeline.

Story and Setting

Fairgame$ is described as a “modern-day Robin Hood” experience where players join an underground movement to steal from ultra-rich billionaires and “rebalance the scales” of wealth inequality. The game will feature various locations around the world for players to infiltrate and rob.

Gameplay

Details are still limited, but Fairgame$ is being designed as a competitive multiplayer heist game with “emergent sandbox gameplay.” Players will work together to break into secure locations, avoid or take down security, and steal valuable loot. The developers aim to reward player creativity and deliver unique experiences each time.

Platforms

Fairgame$ is confirmed for release on PlayStation 5 and PC. As a live-service title, it’s expected to launch simultaneously on both platforms.

Development Background

The game is being created by Haven Studios, a new PlayStation studio founded by industry veteran Jade Raymond in 2021. Sony acquired Haven in 2022 as part of its initiative to expand its live-service game offerings.

While Sony has faced some setbacks with its live-service strategy recently, including project cancellations and studio closures, the company remains committed to developing multiplayer experiences alongside its renowned single-player games.
