Sony Group said in a statement that its video game unit
“joins the global community in calling for peace in Ukraine.”
“We have suspended all software and hardware shipments, the
launch of Gran Turismo 7, and operations of the PlayStation Store in Russia,”
it said.
The tech and entertainment conglomerate also said it was
donating $2 million to the U.N. refugee agency and Save the Children “to
support the victims of this tragedy.”
A growing number of multinationals, from McDonald’s to
Adidas and Samsung, have fully or partially halted business in Russia after the
invasion of its neighbor.
Some have cited supply chain disruption while others have
directly linked the move to outrage over President Vladimir Putin’s decision to
send troops into Ukraine.
A Nintendo spokesman said that the Kyoto-based company behind
the popular Switch console is suspending shipments of all goods to Russia “for
the time being,” without giving details on the start date or likely end of the
move.
“There are two reasons. One is that our e-shop (in Russia)
has been under maintenance since March 4, because the payment provider stopped
ruble transactions. Another is logistics disruption,” the spokesman said.
