Sony Interactive Entertainment has not released Gran Turismo 7, which is now available worldwide, on playstation store in Russia. When you enter the game’s page, it appears that “release date pending confirmation”.
According to Eurogamer , Sony made the decision last night, but there has been no official statement from Sony yet.
If you recall, Ukraine officially called on PlayStation and Xbox and asked them to stop supporting Russian markets. We can say that gran turismo 7 is the first serious step taken in this regard from major platforms such as Sony and Microsoft.
Bloober Team and CD Projekt stopped selling their games in Russia and Belarus, while Electronic Arts began removing Russian and Belarusian teams from sports games.
We’ll add it to the news when we get an official statement from Sony. Whether this is just a case of Gran Turismo 7 or whether Sony will make further moves through the PlayStation Store in Russia remains to be seen.
