Media Molecule ceased support for Dreams in September 2023, effectively halting the journey of the PS4 game as the studio shifted its focus towards its next venture. Despite its absence on the native PS5 platform, Dreams remains accessible through backward compatibility, yet it never made its way to PC, a potential avenue for expanding its audience.
Subsequently, rumors surfaced indicating that ports for PS5 and PC were in the works, with these versions of Dreams reportedly nearing completion. However, these plans were derailed following significant layoffs at Media Molecule.
Despite this setback, the Dreams community remains steadfast in their hope for these ports, striving to demonstrate to Sony the game’s enduring appeal. In a bid to garner support, fans have compiled a showcase featuring some of the most remarkable projects crafted within the game’s creative platform.
Dreams is one of the greatest things to happen to PlayStation, yet it is in danger of being forgotten.
The revolutionary technology and the power it brings to creators is like nothing else.

Since its debut in early 2020, Dreams has continuously impressed with its adaptability and versatility. From original games like Ancient Dangers: A Bat’s Tale to captivating animated series such as Noguchi’s Bell, creators have utilized accessible tutorials to realize their visions.
Furthermore, the social aspect of game development within Dreams has fostered a collaborative environment, facilitating the exchange of ideas and the sharing of creations among hobbyists and developers alike.
As Richard Wakeling articulated in GameSpot’s review of Dreams, “Dreams is a refined tool for constructing a diverse array of games and a community-driven hub where others can experience them.
It’s an astonishing achievement that fosters boundless creative expression, serving as a platform for individuals to come together, collaborate, and explore each other’s imaginations. It’s a tool for dreamers and one of the most groundbreaking releases in recent memory.”
