Sony PlayStation is the latest to suspend game sales in Russia, following the likes of Activision Blizzard, EA, Epic Games, Microsoft, Take-Two and Ubisoft.

“We have suspended all software and hardware shipments, the launch of Gran Turismo 7, and operations of the PlayStation Store in Russia. 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.”
