PlayStation’s long-lost Fairgame$ reportedly pivoting to include an extraction mode after years of silence

Remember Fairgame$? No? It’s really hard to fault you if you don’t.

Announced in 2023, the debut title from PlayStation’s Haven Studios has not been heard from since. We’re coming up on the three-year anniversary of its reveal now, and a new report has some info on what could be happening behind the scenes.

Originally described as a “competitive heist experience,” the new report from Insider Gaming claims that the title is still in the works and will be looking to capitalize on the popularity of the extraction shooter genre with a similar mode of its own.

Citing official documents, the report claims that part of Fairgame$’s description reads as follows:

Break In – Find a vault code to gain access to the safe. Collect cash, upgrade your skillset, and make your play.

Drill – The vault is breached. Be the team to grab the cargo, or set up your strategy to intercept it.

Extract – The Cargo must be brought to the Extraction Site. Use the Extraction device to call your ride home. If your team fails to extract cargo, use another exit to Getaway.

The 2023 trailer featured slick CGI visuals and teased the heist gameplay, depicting multiple teams of three fighting over a vault and its loot. Adding in some extraction-style mechanics makes it seem like the game is still somehow trying to find its niche, even if that means borrowing from other genres.

It’s anyone’s guess as to what will happen to Fairgame$ in the future, but given Sony’s mishandling of several studios and titles in development this generation, it’s hard to fault people for wondering if this game is ever going to come out. Trying to shoehorn in mechanics from games like Escape From Tarkov or Marathon to bring in players may or may not make an overall impact in the end.

Fairgame$ will reportedly be free-to-play, and it was announced for both PS5 and PC, but it still faces an uphill battle when trying to get a foothold in the multiplayer market in 2026…or whenever it may release.

The People of Tortuga is one of several factions in Windrose, and finding the buyer can be a headscratcher. You might think that you’ll find them in Tortuga. That’s where the problem is: they’re at a different location.

This guide will help you find the People of Tortuga faction so that you can find the buyer and interact with him.

How to find the Tortuga faction in Windrose

Since the map of Windrose is procedurally generated, sharing the location of the People of Tortuga faction might not workout for you. Instead, here’s how you can find the faction quite easily.

Keep grinding the missions until you receive the Buccaneers quest.
This is a faction quest that you can undertake at character level 3.
The first task of the quest is to get 50 bags of gunpowder for the Buccaneers and deliver them to Henri Boucher.
The second task is to deliver the shipment of tanned hides to Charlie Sharpe.
Charlie Sharpe, incidentally, belongs to the People of Tortuga faction.
If you open the map now, the quest location will highlight where Chalie Sharpe is located. This is the same place where the People of Tortuga Faction can be found.

Complete the second task of Buccaneers, and you’ll have found the location of the People of Tortuga Faction. This is the most consistent method of finding the faction. Typically, you’ll find them at a hideout slightly distant from Tortuga.

Once you find the hideout, you’ll also find the trader waiting for you at the same location. You can then proceed with your transactions. If you want to focus back on the Buccaneers’ quest, there will be one more task for you to complete.
