A patch has been deployed on 13 April 2023. This story originally appeared on Ars Technica. In an investor note, CD Projekt Red noted that Russian and Belarussian customers accounted for 5.4 percent and 3.7 percent of the company's sales in the last 12 months, respectively. While Russia is a significant and growing market for major game publishers, the country doesn't even crack the top 10 nations by game industry revenues, according to a 2021 NewZoo report.

That move comes as FIA Motorsports also takes action to prevent Russian participation in events, including esports. While Sony hasn't made any public statements regarding the Russian PlayStation market, Gran Turismo 7 was made unavailable to purchase on the Russian PlayStation store on Friday. PayPal purchases were also still working on Steam before that company cut off Russian service on Saturday.

A (translated) error message on Nintendo's Russian site notes that, “due to the fact that the payment service used in Nintendo eShop has suspended the processing of payments in rubles, Nintendo eShop in Russia is temporarily placed into maintenance mode.”Ĭredit card payments are also unavailable on Steam, though Russian users can still reportedly use existing Steam wallet funds to make new purchases. While other game platforms technically remain online and doing business in Russia, sanctions from major payment processors seem to be affecting access for game purchases on some online storefronts.
