Media Molecule will stop supporting PS4 game Dreams in September

Media Molecule will stop supporting PS4 game Dreams on September 1. The developer reported this in a blog post on Tuesday. The game will remain playable after that date, but will no longer receive updates. The developer will focus on a new project.

Media Molecule, which is part of PlayStation maker Sony, reports on Tuesday that it will stop ‘live support’ for Dreams in September. The game will not receive any new updates after that date. In-game events, such as DreamsCom and the Impy Awards, will also no longer take place from September. The company says it will release a number of updates before then, which, for example, should make animation improvements in the game. The Create mode is also getting a final update.

The game will no longer have a multiplayer mode, Media Molecule said. The studio previously said it was working on that. The game will also not have a PS5 version or PS VR2 support. At the end of May, Dreams will be transferred to a new server. From then on, users will receive a storage limit of 5GB in total for their creations. The studio says this is done to “maintain the security and stability of the Dreams server for all players.” Creations uploaded before server migration do not count towards the limit. Furthermore, a number of other features, such as Twitch integration, will disappear from the title.

Media Molecule promises to continue to highlight player creations on social media after September 1 and to do the same in-game through curation. The company also says it will be working on a new project. Media Molecule confirms that it is not Dreams 2 and will not be based on the Dreams franchise.

Dreams was released in 2020 for the PlayStation 4. In Dreams, players can create their own games and experiences and then share them with other players. The game was created by Media Molecule, a studio that previously worked on LittleBigPlanet and Tearaway.
