    Rockstar Games & their parent company block all game sales in Russia, amid to Ukraine invasion

    Rockstar Games and their parent company Take-Two Interactive are currently in the process of suspending its games, merchandise and other content on sale across all of Russia and Belarus. 2K and other Take-Two subsidiaries are also in the process of suspending all game and content sales. This shortly comes after publishers across the games industry such as EA, CD Projekt Red and Ubisoft made statements that the companies would be committing to suspending all future sales and content in Russia and Belarus.

    In a Twitter post via GTANet’s Administrator Kirsty Cloud, a friend of Kirsty’s had notified her that it was no longer possible to purchase any Rockstar Games titles on the Rockstar Games Launcher on PC – many in Russia reported that the ‘Store’ tab was removed earlier on the Rockstar Launcher, Rockstar Games have also blocked all Rockstar merchandise and physical title sales on its own official website. Rockstar’s website will now state their products are “unavailable available in your country or region”.

    Told by a friend that T2/Rockstar have removed Store access on the Launcher in Russia. I can't verify it myself but here's a screenshot (Store is missing). It's possible they have joined other devs & corporations in suspending their business in the country due to the Ukraine war pic.twitter.com/KG91SI9TmN

    At the time of writing, all Rockstar and Take-Two titles and other content are currently available to purchase in Russia & Belarus on PlayStation and Xbox platforms, it’s very likely it won’t be long until Rockstar and Take-Two suspend all future purchases on both platforms.

    Please consider donating to DEC Ukraine Appeal from the British Red Cross to help families and communities during this difficult time in Ukraine.

    Ahead of press time, Rockstar Games have been contacted for comment. We’ll update if the company responds back.

      shame …

      “The games must remain far from politics”.

      Exactly. Russian vodka, airlines, the well off and their super boats Russian Xbox and PlayStation accounts, everything Russian in a childish way not even connected to Putin’s political agenda seems to being politicized and that’s just wrong and not just stupid. But also silly. It is drilled into football supporters in the UK to keep secterianism, racism and politics out of sport and sporting stadiums. The example the EU is setting in politicising sport as a means to get one over Putin is a very bad example to say the least.

      They also blocks registrations from Ukraine

      Dear developers. Please block all players from Russia. Deny them access to GTA online. The Russians spread insulting statements and humiliate Ukrainians. Thank you very much for your understanding.
