Nintendo has temporarily put its Russian eShop into maintenance mode, the company said in a notice on its Russian website, which appears to mean that players in the country can\u2019t buy digital games from the store.<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to the fact that the payment service used in Nintendo eShop has suspended the processing of payments in rubles, Nintendo eShop in Russia is temporarily placed into maintenance mode,\u201d according to a Google-translated version of the message<\/a>. \u201cWe apologize for any inconvenience caused.\u201d It\u2019s unclear what payment service Nintendo uses. The Verge<\/em> has reached out for more information.<\/p>\n

Many gaming companies have taken action in protest of Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine. EA<\/a> and CD Projekt Red<\/a> have halted sales of their games in Russia and Belarus. Microsoft has suspended all new sales of \u201cMicrosoft products and services\u201d in Russia<\/a>, a phrasing that seems to include Xbox hardware and software. And as reported by Eurogamer<\/em><\/a>, Sony apparently has pulled Gran Turismo 7<\/em>, a big title in its 2022 lineup, from sale in Russia \u2014 I couldn\u2019t find the game in a search on the Russian PlayStation Store. Sony hasn\u2019t yet replied to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
