Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) is another major publisher and producer that does not intend to passively watch Vladimir Putin’s troops destroy Ukraine. The corporation quietly dropped Gran Turismo 7 in Russia last week, and is now completely withdrawing from support for this market.
Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) joins the global community that calls for peace in Ukraine. We have halted all software and hardware deliveries, the launch of Gran Turismo 7, and the PlayStation Store operation in Russia. “
Russians are completely cut off from PlayStation products – players will not be able to buy consoles, accessories, games in physical distribution and digital productions. Sony is the first console producer that has reacted so clearly to the events in Ukraine.
“To support humanitarian aid, Sony Group Corporation announced a $ 2 million donation to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and Save the Children, an international non-governmental organization, to support the victims of this tragedy,” Sony recalled a large donation to help the people of Ukraine
This is a really clear move, because although Microsoft has previously announced that it will suspend sales in Russia, we have not yet received such a clear position from the manufacturer – Sony officially withdraws all its products from this country and even blocks sales on PlayStation Store.
