All three major video game console makers, including Microsoft, have now stopped sales in the country over the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Nintendo and Sony are halting video game sales in Russia, citing the country’s invasion of Ukraine. On Thursday, Nintendo told Reuters it was suspending sales in Russia “for the foreseeable future,“ after it already began stopping payments through the company’s eShop in the country. The reason for the sales halt is due to the “volatility surrounding the logistics of shipping and distributing physical goods” to the country, it said. On Wednesday, Sony also announced it was hitting pause on all software and hardware sales for the PlayStation in Russia.
