The sign up page for the closed playtest for Sony Interactive Entertainment and Haven Studios’ upcoming multiplayer heist shooter, Fairgames, has gone live under the name “Project Espresso.”
According to Player.gg, the platform has been given exclusive access to a closed playtest for an unannounced competitive action shooter codenamed Project Espresso, which is being developed by a AAA studio. The page invites players to assemble their crews and sign up for the playtest, using the tagline, “Get in. Get out. Get paid.”
While neither the game’s name nor its developer is mentioned on the playtest sign up page, the accompanying pre-alpha screenshots confirm that Project Espresso is in fact Fairgames, the multiplayer title being developed by Haven Studios for Sony Interactive Entertainment.
Project Espresso Pre-Alpha Screenshots
Screenshots from the pre-alpha build of Project Espresso can be seen below.
The description on Player.gg provides some details on the Fairgames’ core gameplay. Project Espresso is described as a third-person PVPVE competitive action game in which rival teams compete to infiltrate high-security locations, steal valuable cargo, and successfully escape before opposing players can stop them. The premise matches what has previously been revealed about Fairgames, which is built around competitive multiplayer heists and the pursuit of valuable targets. The pre-alpha build screenshots offer additional visual evidence connecting the Project Espresso playtest to Haven Studios’ title, despite the absence of an official game name on the sign up page.
Emails are also being sent to those who previously signed up to be notified on the game’s progress, informing them that the playtest is now open for sign up. This suggests that Sony Interactive Entertainment and Haven Studios are likely expanding playtesting ahead of a possible launch announcement.
Those interested in signing up will need a Player.gg account. Connecting to your Steam and Discord accounts is also available as an option.
Fairgames is being developed for PlayStation 5 and Windows PC.
