Media Molecule moving on to \u2018exciting new project\u2019<\/p>\n

Media Molecule, the Sony-owned developer of Dreams<\/em><\/a>, has announced it will end live service support for the PlayStation 4 game creation system in September as it concentrates on a different project.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve made the difficult decision to discontinue live support for Dreams after 1st September, 2023 to shift our focus to an exciting new project,\u201d the studio said in a blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The title won\u2019t be removed from sale, and players will still be able to create, share, and play within Dreams<\/em>, but there won\u2019t be any more updates, or developer-led events such as the Impy Awards that rewarded the community\u2019s best creations. Long-promised multiplayer support will not be happening, and the game won\u2019t be updated for PlayStation 5 or PlayStation VR 2.<\/p>\n

Dreams<\/em> will also be migrating to a new server in late May, after which players will face a storage limit of 5GB for new creations \u201cin an effort to preserve the security and stability of the Dreams<\/em> server for all players.\u201d Existing creations uploaded before the move won\u2019t count toward this limit. A number of other features will be removed from the game, including Twitch integration.<\/p>\n

Media Molecule promised that it would continue to highlight the community\u2019s best Dreams<\/em> creations on its social channels, and to surface creations through in-game curation, even after live service ends.<\/p>\n

In a FAQ, the studio implied that Dreams <\/em>had not been successful enough to be worked on further into the future, even though the developers would have liked to. \u201cWhilst we\u2019ve always had the desire to build on the foundation of Dreams<\/em> and expand the experience, when reviewing our plans we were not able to define a sustainable path,\u201d it said. It also confirmed that its new project is not Dreams 2 <\/em>or related to the Dreams<\/em> IP.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know this won\u2019t be an easy message for everyone to hear, and it\u2019s certainly not been an easy decision \u2014 Dreams<\/em> has been a special project for Media Molecule, and helping this burgeoning community of game developers, tinkerers, creatives, collaborators and dreamers grow and express themselves remains one of the best things we\u2019ve ever done,\u201d the studio said. \u201cThank you for being part of it with us \u2013 we look forward to you joining us on our next adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n
