Ubisoft, Take-Two the latest to suspend sales in Russia

The pair join an ever-growing list.

Ubisoft and Take-Two are the latest video game publishers to suspend sales in Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

“We are devasted and heartbroken by the tragic events taking place in Ukraine,” Ubisoft said in a statement.

“Many Ubisoft team members call Ukraine home, and the thoughts of the entire Ubisoft community are with them, their loved ones and all those affected by this war,” it continued. “In light of the ongoing tragedy in Ukraine, we have decided to suspend our sales in Russia.”

Take-Two has also confirmed it will suspend sales in the country.

“We have watched recent events unfold in Ukraine with concern and sadness,” the publisher told GamesIndustry.

“After significant consideration, last week, we decided to stop new sales, installations, and marketing support across all our labels in Russia and Belarus at this time.”

Last week, we reported that Microsoft and EA had suspended sales in Russia, with Sony’s Gran Turismo 7 also pulled from digital marketplaces. Earlier this week, Activision Blizzard and Epic Games followed suit.
