Sony Interactive Entertainment, the arm of Sony that manages its popular PlayStation console, is halting all software and hardware shipments in Russia because of the country\u2019s invasion of Ukraine. <\/p>\n

\u201cSony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) joins the global community in calling for peace in Ukraine,\u201d SIE spokesperson Joe Taraborrelli said in a statement shared with The Verge<\/em>. \u201cWe have suspended all software and hardware shipments, the launch of Gran Turismo 7<\/em>, and operations of the PlayStation Store in Russia.\u201d Taraborrelli added that Sony has announced a $2 million donation to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the NGO Save the Children to support those affected by the invasion.<\/p>\n

In a separate post<\/a>, Bungie \u2014 which is in the process of being acquired by Sony \u2014 said it\u2019s working to suspend all sales and distribution of Destiny 2<\/em> in Russia and Belarus. Players in those countries can continue to access already-purchased content or download the free version, but new purchases are on hold for now. It\u2019s also a releasing a free in-game \u201c C\u043e\u043d\u044f\u0448\u043d\u0438\u043a\u201d emblem for players to show their support of Ukraine, with codes for it going out in its weekly message.<\/p>\n

SIE follows companies including Activision Blizzard, Epic Games<\/a>, EA<\/a>, CD Projekt Red<\/a>, Ubisoft, and Take-Two<\/a> in halting sales in Russia. Xbox maker Microsoft has also suspended<\/a> \u201call new sales of Microsoft products and services\u201d in the country. Nintendo has put its Russian eShop in maintenance mode<\/a> because its payment processor suspended processing rubles and delayed Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp<\/em><\/a> from its previously scheduled April 8th launch date due to \u201crecent world events.\u201d<\/p>\n

Update, March 9th, 5:17PM ET:<\/strong><\/em> Added information about Bungie and<\/em> Destiny 2.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
