Gran Turismo 7 removed from the Russian PS Store
Sony has removed Gran Turismo 7 from the Russian PlayStation Store. The driving game is currently not available for purchase from that region and the expected release date is listed as "TBD".We remind you that the release date of Gran Turismo 7 is today, March 4, 2022. The game guide should be available in every store, but in Russia this is not the case. According to Eurogamer.net, the change took place overnight. However, there have not yet been any official statements on the matter and Sony PlayStation has not responded to requests for information.
Gran Turismo 7 For the moment it is therefore impossible to know the real reason for this choice, but it is clearly difficult not to think which is, in one way or another, related to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. We will have to wait for an official statement from Sony to confirm what is happening.
Various exponents of the videogame world (and not, of course) have decided to take various measures against Russia, such as CD Projekt that has completely blocked all types of sales in the region and also in Belarus.
EA has also declared itself against Russia: the Russian national team and clubs of FIFA 22 have in fact been removed.
