Call of Duty Modern Warfare pulled from PlayStation Store in Russia

Call of Duty Modern Warfare will not be sold on the PlayStation Store in Russia, Activision Blizzard recently confirmed, adding that the decision was Sony’s.

The title will remain available digitally on PC via Battle.net and on Xbox One through the Microsoft Store. Physical copies of the PS4 version of the game will also remain available through regular retailers.

“Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a fictional game that has been thoughtfully created to entertain fans and tell a compelling narrative,” reads the English version of the official tweet from the Call of Duty Russia account, above. “Sony Interactive Entertainment has decided not to sell Modern Warfare on the PlayStation Store in Russia at this time. We look forward to launching Modern Warfare digitally in Russia on 25 October on PC via Battle.net and on console via Xbox.”

In a further statement to Games Industry, Activision said that, “Sony Interactive Entertainment has decided not to sell Modern Warfare on the PlayStation Store in Russia at this time, we apologize for the inconvenience.”

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare heads to Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4 on 25 October.
