In Dreams, players should be able to create their own games on the PlayStation. After 3 years, the developers will stop supporting it in 2023.
What kind of game is this? Dreams is a game by Media Molecule that was released exclusively for PlayStation in February 2020.
Dreams is about accessing a kit of different tools and then creating your own game and then sharing it with other players in an online library.

The support is gone, but the creations remain
What’s next for Dreams? The developers of Dreams announced on April 11, 2023 that there will be no more events and updates for the game. Media Molecule will officially end support on September 1, 2023.
However, after September 1st you will still be able to create your own creations, share them with others or access creations made (via indreams.me).
Are there similar games? Yes, the popular Free2Play title “Roblox” follows a similar principle as Dreams. You can create different levels and games and share them with other players.
In addition, Dreams recently had a new competitor in the “genre” in Fortnite, of all things. There, players can also create their own games, maps or modes with the “Unreal Editor for Fortnite” published in March 2023 and make them available to other players.
Players can then find your creations with a code in Fortnite and then play them. However, Epic Games prohibits works that infringe the copyright of other games. For example, you are not allowed to recreate maps from Call of Duty.
