Sony sent a cease-and-desist letter to PC modder Speclizer, halting the release of a The Last of Us 2 multiplayer mod that had been in development for nine months and was set to launch this month. The mod, which was partially funded through Patreon, recreated Factions-style multiplayer gameplay; Sony likely targeted it due to the modder's monetization of the fan project.
Wardogs, a 100-player multiplayer first-person shooter with three teams competing for zone control, launched into Steam Early Access on September 10, 2026, and sold over 1.25 million copies with nearly 300,000 concurrent players. The game features destructible environments, vehicle combat, and base-building mechanics similar to Battlefield, with a PS5 console version confirmed for 2028.
