A media roundup of Sony's PS5 live-service game lineup shows that nine projects have been canceled, six have launched, and four are still in development. Sony had previously planned to release twelve such titles over several years and acquired Bungie to help advance this strategy.
Canceled projects include FairGame, as well as live-service projects developed by Deviation Games, Bend Studio, and London Studio. The list also includes Bluepoint Games' God of War live-service title, Marvel's Spider-Man: Grand Web, Bungie's Payback project, The Last of Us multiplayer, and Twisted Metal.
Released titles include Concord, Gran Turismo 7, Helldivers 2, Lost Starship: Marathon, Marvel Rivals: Fighting Spirit, and the annually released MLB The Show. Among them, Concord ceased operations less than two weeks after launch.
There are currently four projects still in development, with listed titles including 4:LOOP, Gummi Bear, and Horizon: Call of the Wild. Horizon: Call of the Wild is being adjusted into a more traditional co-op game and will undergo evaluation in December; if its performance is unsatisfactory at that time, the project may also be canceled. This list represents media analysis and speculation, not an official roster of new projects announced by Sony.
