News Summary

Jade Raymond, a prominent figure in the gaming industry, has left Haven Studios, a Montreal-based studio acquired by PlayStation in 2022. The studio was working on Fairgame$, a competitive heist shooter, which has reportedly been delayed from its original fall 2025 release to next spring. Concerns arose after an external test of the game led to mixed feedback from developers. Fairgame$ is significant as it is part of PlayStation’s live service game strategy, which has faced multiple setbacks with other projects being canceled or underperforming. Raymond’s departure marks a notable change for Haven, which she founded with colleagues following her tenure at Ubisoft, EA Motive, and Stadia.
