PlayStation joins growing corporate coalition self-sanctioning Russia

Just as the company is preparing to wow fans with its latest PlayStation State of Play, Sony Interactive Entertainment is suspending its games business in Russia. In reaction to Russia’s unprovoked and illegal attack on Ukraine, Sony is ending shipments of its games and hardware to the country. The company has also pulled the plug on the digital PlayStation Store in the nation.

“Sony Interactive Entertainment joins the global community in calling for peace in Ukraine,” reads a statement from the company. “To support humanitarian aid, Sony Group Corporation announced a US$2 million donation to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the international NGO, Save the Children, to support the victims of this tragedy.”
