For example, in Starfield, Bethesda’s space role-playing action movie scheduled for release in the fall of 2023, Russian disappeared from the list of supported languages in mid-April.
Sega also removed the Russian language from the Total War Warhammer 3 add-on a week before its release on April 13.
In the spring of 2022, most major publishers, including EA, Ubisoft, Activision Blizzard, and CD Projekt Red, have officially left the Russian market and removed the ability to purchase their games for accounts from Russia.
Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo have also been the exception for me – they’ve also placed restrictions on their projects on Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, and Switch game consoles.
At the same time, Sony closed the page with the game Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores on the Russian PS Store and refunded the money to players who managed to pre-order.
