At the end of last week, we reported that Sony began to block new PlayStation games in Russia : the racing simulator Gran Turismo 7 was the first to be sanctioned. The Japanese company told Reuters news agency about the complete suspension of sales in Russia. We are talking about both digital and hardware products, so games on the PlayStation Store and on physical media, as well as the PlayStation 5 and other PlayStation products, are banned. The reason is the same – the armed conflict in Ukraine.

The implementation of the sanctions was not long in coming: some users from Russia are already reporting the inability to make a purchase on the PlayStation Store. Moreover, it is not possible to add games on a PlayStation Plus subscription (the settlement of issues for an already paid service will obviously be later), but already purchased games can still be downloaded. The restrictions have been introduced for an indefinite period and will work depending on the development of the political situation.
